Klappentext

An instant No. 1Sunday Times & New York Times Bestseller, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soilis a twisting tale of power, immortality and the terrifying price of freedom from V. E. Schwab.

Three women share one desire: to break the rules men use to bind them.

1532. Santo Domingo: María is wild and wily, and knows beauty is her only currency. So when an alluring stranger offers a dark alternate path, Maria makes a desperate choice.

1827. London: Charlotte lives a cloistered life, her heart full of impossible wants. Swept away by a beautiful widow's invitation, Charlotte discovers she could buy her freedom - if she sells her soul.

2019. Boston: Alice moved across the world to escape her past. But a one-night stand gives her a thirst for answers, and retribution.

Defying time and all odds, these three women's stories become tangled like roots. This is a story about life. How it ends, and how it starts again.
