Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab

About Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab

From the bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue comes a sweeping, gothic epic that reimagines the vampire myth through a fiercely feminist lens. Spanning centuries, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil follows three women whose fates intertwine across time—María in 1532, Charlotte in 1827, and Alice in the present day. Each must wrestle with hunger, rage, and the cost of transformation in a story that is as haunting as it is propulsive.

V. E. Schwab blends lush prose, historical detail, and timeless themes of desire and power to create a darkly luminous standalone novel destined to become a cornerstone of modern gothic fantasy.
