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.

A super-powered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful intentions—#1 New York Times bestselling author 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 new-found 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.

With Marcella's rise, new enmities create opportunity--and the stage of Merit City will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning.

“Readers won't be able to put down this dark and riveting tale of power and revenge.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred

Praise for Vicious

“Schwab's characters feel vital and real, never reduced to simple archetypes...In a genre that tends toward the flippant or pretentious, this is a rare superhero novel as epic and gripping as any classic comic. Schwab's tale of betrayal, self-hatred, and survival will resonate with superhero fans as well as readers who have never heard of Charles Xavier or Victor von Doom.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"V. E. Schwab's Vicious is the superhero novel I've been waiting for: fresh, merciless, and yes, vicious. Wow."—Mira Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Blackout

V.E. (Victoria) Schwab, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, takes readers on three sweeping, evocative adventures in three different haunted cities.

Ever since Cassidy Blake almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead... and enter the world of spirits. Even her best friend, Jacob, is a ghost.

But Cass's life is about to get much stranger.

When her parents are tapped to host a show about the world's most haunted places, the family heads off to film around the world. Book One takes them to Edinburgh, Scotland, where graveyards and castles teem with restless phantoms, one of whom has their sights set on capturing Cass. Can Cass, together with Jacob and a new friend who seems to share her gift, outsmart the Raven in Red?

In Book Two, Cass comes to Paris, where she discovers that the City of Light hides scary poltergeists in its dark underbelly. And Book Three brings Cass to New Orleans, where Cass and her friends will have to face off with a servant of Death itself.

Three books. Three cities. One fearless heroine. And a host of ghosts you won't soon forget.
