In the vein of The Time Travelers Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwabs genre-defying tour de force. Addie La Rue has learnt the hard way that deals with the devil are tricky things. Immortal but eternally invisible and forgotten by people, Addie exists only as a muse for artists throughout history. The only person who remembers her is the devil, who visits every year on the anniversary of their deal. Until one day, in a bookshop in New York, she meets a boy who remembers her.

Egy élet, amire senki nem fog emlékezni. Egy történet, amit soha nem felejtünk el. Franciaország, 1714: egy fiatal nő végső elkeseredettségben fausti alkut köt az ördöggel, hogy örökké éljen, ám ezért cserébe súlyos árat fizet. Az ördög megfosztja a világban elfoglalt helyétől, és arra kárhoztatja, hogy mindenki elfelejtse, akivel találkozik. Így kezdődik Addie LaRue évszázadokat és kontinenseket átívelő, felejthetetlen története. Művészek múzsájaként vonul végig a történelmen, melynek során egyetlen társa az ördög, aki minden évben felkeresi az egyezségük évfordulóján. Aztán egy napon, egy manhattani antikváriumban Addie belebotlik valakibe, aki emlékszik rá. És ekkor rájön, hogy nem menekülhet örökké a végzete elől. Az Addie LaRue láthatatlan élete egyrészt a szerelem és az élet utáni végtelen vágyódás gyönyörű története, másrészt a művészetek és a tudás ünnepélyes himnusza. V. E. Schwab regénye a megjelenését követően számos országban bestsellerré vált, az olvasók és a kritikusok egyaránt ezt tartják írói pályája eddigi legfontosabb és legjobb művének.

Everything casts a shadow. Even the world we live in. And as with every shadow, there is a place where it must touch. A seam, where the shadow meets its source. #1 New York Times-bestselling author V. E. Schwab weaves a dark and original tale about the place where the world meets its shadow, and the young woman beckoned by both sides. The Secret Garden meets Crimson Peak in this stand-alone novel perfect for readers of Holly Black and Neil Gaiman. Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for Girls, and all she has of her past is her mother's journal--which seems to unravel into madness. Then, a letter invites Olivia to come home to Gallant. Yet when Olivia arrives, no one is expecting her. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home; it doesn't matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile, or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways. Olivia knows that Gallant is hiding secrets, and she is determined to uncover them. When she crosses a ruined wall at just the right moment, Olivia finds herself in a place that is Gallant--but not. The manor is crumbling, the ghouls are solid, and a mysterious figure rules over all. Now Olivia sees what has unraveled generations of her family, and where her father may have come from. Olivia has always wanted to belong somewhere, but will she take her place as a Prior, protecting our world against the Master of the House? Or will she take her place beside him? New York Times-bestselling author V. E. Schwab crafts a vivid and lush novel that grapples with the demons that are often locked behind closed doors. An eerie, stand-alone saga about life, death, and the young woman beckoned by both. Readers of Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, Melissa Albert, and Garth Nix will quickly lose themselves in this novel with crossover appeal for all ages.

V. E. Schwab a Mágia Árnyalatai-trilógia magával ragadó, pompás fináléjában eldönti a négy mágikus London közötti küzdelmet. Londonok buknak el, királyságok virágoznak fel, mialatt sötétség söpör végig a Maresh Birodalmon – s a mágia törékeny egyensúlya immár a múlté. A Gyülekező árnyak folytatásában a már megismert főhősök, Kell antari és Szelina Bard, valamint régi ellenségeik sorsa új fordulatot vesz.

A mágikus apokalipszis után több részre hasad az univerzum. Kell herceg egy különös utazó, egy antari, aki képes eljutni az egymástól elzárt világokba: Szürke, Vörös és Fehér Londonba. Ezek a városok akkor sem különbözhetnének jobban, ha más-más földrészen lennének, de igazából nem földrajzi távolság van köztük, hanem dimenzióbeli. A trilógia első kötetében Kell herceg Vörös London vidám színekkel teli utcáit gyakran elhagyja Szürke London bűnözés fertőzte sikátoraiért és Fehér London hideg sivárságáért. Mágikus képességét sokan irigylik, miközben üzeneteket szállít a világok között. Egyik útja során veszélyes kalandba bonyolódik, és egy sötét mágia fenyegetésével kell megküzdenie. A pusztító erő abból a Fekete Londonból származik, melyet védekezésképp elzártak a mindörökre az emberi létezés terei elől. Kell nem menekülhet a gonosz hatalmától, de szerencsére társa akad a küzdelemben: a Szürke Londonból származó fiatal tolvaj lány, Lina.

"For someone damned to be forgettable, Addie LaRue is a most delightfully unforgettable character, and her story is the most joyous evocation of unlikely immortality." -Neil Gaiman A beautiful illustrated edition of this genre-defying tour de force, featuring new artwork selected by V.E. Schwab, illustrated plate section, printed endpapers and exclusive jacket. When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she trades her soul for immortality. But there's always a price - the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone. Addie flees her tiny home town in 18th-Century France, beginning a journey that takes her across the world, learning to live a life where no one remembers her and everything she owns is lost and broken. Existing only as a muse for artists throughout history, she learns to fall in love anew every single day. Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal. Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him. Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her. Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can't escape her fate forever.
