Beschreibung:

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

This beautiful, collectable paperback edition features a striking sprayed edge.

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

1532. León, Spain: María, wild and wily, knows beauty is her only currency. So when an alluring stranger offers her a dark alternative path, María 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 can 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 women's fates become tangled like roots. This is a story about life: how it ends, and how it starts again.
