The Invisible Life Of Addie Larue

A haunting, breathtaking novel about a woman cursed to be forgotten — and the one person who remembers her.

In 1714, desperate to escape an unwanted life, Addie LaRue makes a Faustian bargain with a dark god: she will live forever… but she will be forgotten by everyone she meets. No name, no legacy, no trace. A life of shadows, stolen moments, and silent survival.

For three hundred years, Addie drifts across continents and centuries, shaping herself into a ghost in the world — an artist’s muse who can never be acknowledged, a lover no one remembers, a witness to history with no proof she ever existed.

Until one day, in a small bookshop in New York City, a man looks at her and says the impossible words:

“I remember you.”

What follows is a beautifully woven, time-spanning story of freedom, identity, art, love, and the price of making your mark on the world. Schwab delivers a novel that feels like mythology wrapped in romance, wrapped in existential heartbreak — atmospheric, elegant, and unforgettable.

This is the kind of book that stays with you:

• A love story that transcends time

• A fantasy built on loneliness, desire, and rebellion

• A meditation on what it means to be truly seen

Perfect for readers who love magical realism, slow-burn romance, and stories that feel like they were carved out of stars and sorrow.
