Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil

A sweeping saga about the power of female resistance across the ages.

In the sixteenth century, Maria chooses the unknown over submission, setting off a chain of fateful events. In the nineteenth century, Charlotte risks everything for a love that promises freedom but conceals a trap. In the present day, Alice untangles the knots of her own past, turning her doubt into a devastating weapon.

This is a story of primal emotions: hunger that compels action, love that blinds, and rage that gives one the strength to change the world. V. E. Schwab masterfully explores the cyclical nature of women’s fate, where every death is only the beginning of a new and even more astonishing story.
