Description

Some books entertain you for a few hours. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil stays with you long after you turn the last page.

Written by V. E. Schwab, the number one New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, this novel became an instant sensation. It hit number one on the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller lists, topped the USA Today chart, and won the 2025 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Fantasy.

What is this story about?

The novel follows three women across three different time periods, all connected by the same desperate desire to be more than a pawn in a world controlled by men.

  • 1532, Santo Domingo de la Calzada. María dreams of escaping a life where she has no real choices, until a mysterious stranger offers her another way.
  • 1837, London. Charlotte lives a sheltered life until a scandal sends her away, and a beautiful widow changes everything she thought she wanted.
  • 2019, Boston. A modern storyline weaves these histories together, showing how the past never really stays buried.

One grows high, one grows deep, and one grows wild. And all of them grow teeth.

Why This Book Became an Instant Classic

Schwab built her reputation writing unforgettable, genre-blending stories, and this novel might be her boldest yet. The Washington Post called it a sensual and haunting look at women who refuse to be bound by convention. The New York Times described it as a time-sweeping, character-juggling vampire mystery unlike anything else on shelves right now.

Readers who love this book tend to enjoy:

  • Gothic fantasy with real emotional depth
  • Strong, complex female characters
  • Stories that explore identity, freedom, and desire
  • Slow burn, atmospheric storytelling
  • Queer representation done with nuance and care

Quick Question: Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to live across centuries, watching the world change around you while you stay the same? That question sits at the heart of this entire story.

Is This Book Right for You?

If you loved The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, this novel will feel like familiar territory, but darker and hungrier. It also works well for readers who enjoy character driven vampire fiction with real literary weight, rather than typical horror tropes.

This story explores loneliness, grief, and queer identity through a lens that feels both intimate and epic in scope.

Experience the Thrilling Conclusion to the Folk of the Air Series with The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black

About the Book

The Queen of Nothing is the spellbinding conclusion to Holly Black’s internationally bestselling Folk of the Air trilogy. After being exiled to the mortal world by the High King she once loved, Jude Duarte must navigate life without power, purpose, or the faerie realm she fought so hard to claim. But when a threat emerges that could destroy everything she left behind, Jude is pulled back into the treacherous world of Elfhame—where every alliance is fragile, every promise is a trap, and reclaiming her crown means risking her heart all over again. This is a story of resilience, revenge, and the fierce determination of a girl who refuses to be forgotten.

From the Back Cover

“After being pronounced Queen of Faerie and then abruptly exiled by the Wicked King Cardan, Jude finds herself unmoored, the queen of nothing. She spends her time with Vivi and Oak, watching reality television and doing odd jobs, including squaring up to a cannibalistic faerie. When her twin sister Taryn shows up asking for help, Jude must return to the treacherous High Court of Elfhame. But Cardan is in trouble, and Jude will have to risk everything to save him—and Faerie itself.”

About the Author

Holly Black is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of over thirty fantasy novels for kids and teens, including the acclaimed Folk of the Air series and The Cruel Prince. Her work has been translated into 32 languages and adapted for film. A master of dark, lush fantasy worlds filled with morally complex characters, Holly has won the Mythopoeic Award, Nebula Award, and has been a finalist for the Eisner Award. She lives in New England with her husband and son, crafting tales of magic, danger, and fierce heroines who refuse to play by the rules.

Who Is This Book For?

This book is perfect for readers who love high-stakes fantasy, morally gray romance, and heroines who fight their way back from exile. If you’re a fan of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, or darker YA fantasy with political intrigue and swoon-worthy tension, The Queen of Nothing is your next must-read. It’s ideal for teens and adults who crave stories where power is earned, not given, and where love and ambition collide in the most dangerous ways. Whether you’ve followed Jude’s journey from the beginning or you’re jumping into the finale, this book delivers the epic, satisfying conclusion fans have been waiting for.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The book is generally suitable for ages 13 and up, though it does contain fantasy violence, some darker themes, and romantic tension. Parents may want to preview it for younger or more sensitive readers.

What makes Holly Black’s Folk of the Air series so popular?
Holly Black masterfully blends dark fae mythology with morally complex characters, enemies-to-lovers romance, and high-stakes political drama. Readers love Jude’s fierce determination and the unpredictable, addictive tension between her and Cardan.

The paperback edition is approximately 336 pages. Most readers finish it in 1–3 sittings because the pacing is gripping and the story is impossible to put down once you start.
