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?
