In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab’s genre-defying tour de force.

A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.

France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever—and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

Een schitterend, genre-overstijgend verhaal voor de fans van Sarah J. Maas en Veronica Roth, maar ook van Audrey Niffenegger en Diana Gabaldon

Schwabs Schemering-trilogie wordt verfilmd door de makers van Spiderman, The Fast and the Furious en John Wick

Frankrijk, 1714. Als Adeline LaRue wordt uitgehuwelijkt, smeekt ze om meer tijd en een leven in vrijheid. Haar wens gaat in vervulling, maar tegen een vreselijke prijs. Addie zal eeuwig leven, en is gedoemd te worden vergeten door iedereen die ze ontmoet. Zelfs haar ouders vergeten hun dochter op slag en jagen haar hun huis uit.

Ontheemd en alleen begint Addie aan een betoverend avontuur dat eeuwen en continenten omspant. Van de achttiende-eeuwse salons van Parijs tot de straten van het moderne New York: Addie leert overal overleven. Maar terwijl haar tijdgenoten de geschiedenisboeken in gaan, blijft Addie onopgemerkt bestaan. Dag na dag, jaar na jaar.

Tot ze op een dag een boekhandel in stapt en iemand haar voor het eerst in driehonderd jaar herkent...

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

A NATIONAL INDIE BESTSELLER

“A bone-chilling standalone . . . which fuses Shirley Jackson’s gothic horror sensibilities with the warmth and dark whimsy of Neil Gaiman.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Gripping worldbuilding, well-rounded characters, and fantastic horror.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review 

“Unsettling and intriguing.”—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review

Everything casts a shadow. Even the world we live in. And as with every shadow, there is a place where it must touch. A seam, where the shadow meets its source.

#1 New York Times–bestselling author V. E. Schwab weaves a dark and original tale about the place where the world meets its shadow, and the young woman beckoned by both sides. The Secret Garden meets Crimson Peak in this stand-alone novel perfect for readers of Holly Black and Neil Gaiman.

Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for Girls, and all she has of her past is her mother’s journal—which seems to unravel into madness. Then, a letter invites Olivia to come home to Gallant. Yet when Olivia arrives, no one is expecting her. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home; it doesn’t matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile, or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways.

Olivia knows that Gallant is hiding secrets, and she is determined to uncover them. When she crosses a ruined wall at just the right moment, Olivia finds herself in a place that is Gallant—but not. The manor is crumbling, the ghouls are solid, and a mysterious figure rules over all. Now Olivia sees what has unraveled generations of her family, and where her father may have come from.

Olivia has always wanted to belong somewhere, but will she take her place as a Prior, protecting our world against the Master of the House? Or will she take her place beside him?

New York Times–bestselling author V. E. Schwab crafts a vivid and lush novel that grapples with the demons that are often locked behind closed doors. An eerie, stand-alone saga about life, death, and the young woman beckoned by both. Readers of Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, Melissa Albert, and Garth Nix will quickly lose themselves in this novel with crossover appeal for all ages.

A super-powered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful intentions—V. E. Schwab returns with the thrilling follow-up to Vicious.
Magneto and Professor X. Superman and Lex Luthor. Victor Vale and Eli Ever. Sydney and Serena Clarke. Great partnerships, now soured on the vine.
But Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death, she’s finally gained the control she’s always sought—and will use her newfound power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She’ll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other once more.
With Marcella’s rise, new enmities create opportunity—and the stage of Merit City will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning.

Le combat du mal contre le mal absolu

C'est la deuxième fois que Victor Vale revient à la vie – et ce n'est pas le genre de chose qui devient plus facile avec le temps.



Le destin s'est inversé : après leur affrontement homérique cinq années plus tôt, c'est désormais Victor qui se promène en liberté et Eli qui végète, emprisonné. Mais le retour à la vie n'est pas tendre pour Victor. Quand on est un EO, un homme aux pouvoirs ExtraOrdinaires, on paie un prix élevé en cas de résurrection. Il cherche donc une solution à son affection tout en tentant de garder unie son étrange petite famille, Mitch, Sydney et Dominic. Quant à Eli, brisé, il s'étiole dans la prison d'EON – la compagnie spécialisée dans la traque des EO, où officie désormais l'inspecteur Stell.



Mais la vie est faite d'imprévus, à commencer par l'émergence à Merit d'une nouvelle force avec laquelle compter : Marcella Riggins n'est pas le genre de femme à tolérer le meurtre, surtout pas quand elle en en la victime. Revenue d'entre les morts avec le genre de pouvoir qu'elle a attendu toute sa vie, elle est bien décidée à prendre sa revanche sur tous et toutes, à commencer par son assassin. Dotée d'une incroyable volonté, elle n'a qu'une idée en tête : semer la ruine et la destruction...



Victoria Schwab réussit un nouveau tour de force ! Après Shades of Magic, retrouvez une jeune auteur prodige dans une nouvelle série unanimement saluée par la critique. Avec la virtuosité qui a fait sa réputation, V. E. Schwab précipite les uns contre les autres des personnages beaucoup trop intelligents pour leur propre bien, dans un voyage qui va les emmener au bout d'eux-mêmes. Écriture léchée, littéralement addictive, talent pour décortiquer les démons et les jalousies de ses personnages et faire monter un suspense insupportable, intrigue imprévisible... Du grand art !
