In 1714 France, Addie LaRue makes a fateful choice to escape a life of confinement: she makes a deal with a mysterious being, trading her soul for the promise of immortality. But the deal is cursed—while she may live forever, she will be forgotten by everyone she meets. Through centuries, Addie moves around the world, blending into the shadows of history. Her existence is one filled with fleeting relationships, artistic endeavors, and a longing to make her existence mean something despite her curse.
For nearly three hundred years, Addie is unable to leave a mark on the world, destined to live a life of forgotten connections. But in modern-day New York, everything shifts when she meets Henry in a dimly lit bookstore. For the first time, someone remembers her name. As Addie and Henry begin to uncover the mysteries of their shared connection, Addie faces a pivotal choice that will determine the future of her invisible and remarkable life.
