Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can't escape her fate forever. Addie’s invisibility forces her to ask herself difficult questions about how her life can be meaningful when her cursed invisibility makes it so that nobody knows that she existed. Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her. 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.Īlone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him. 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.Įxisting only as a muse for artists throughout history, she learns to fall in love anew every single day. But there's always a price - the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone. When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she trades her soul for immortality. The definitive edition of this genre-defying tour de force.
