"Bury my bones in the midnight soil, plant them shallow and water them deep, and in my place will grow a feral rose, soft red petals hiding sharp white teeth."

A STORY ABOUT IMMORTALITY, HUNGER AND REVENGE.

From V. E. Schwab, the internationally bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue , comes a twisting, gothic tale of blood, power, and the terrifying price of freedom.

Three women, centuries apart. One secret desire binds them all: to be more than a pawn in a game played by men.

1532. Santo Domingo: María is wild and wily, and knows her beauty is her only currency. When an alluring stranger offers an alternate path - a chance to choose her own fate - María makes a desperate vow: no regrets.

1827. London: Charlotte lives a cloistered life, her heart full of impossible wishes. Swept away by a beautiful widow's invitation, she discovers the price of freedom is higher than she could have ever imagined.

2019. Boston: Alice moved halfway across the world to escape her past. But a one-night stand leads to chilling consequences. So Alice throws herself into a hunt for answers and revenge that links her to a hunger centuries old.

This is a story about life . . . how it ends, and how it starts again.
