Nvpin (female-oriented) novels romance Fantasy Ended

This is a story about hunger. 1532. Santo Domingo de la Calzada. A young girl grows up wild and wily―her beauty is only outmatched by her dreams of escape. But María knows she can only ever be a prize, or a pawn, in the games played by men. When an alluring stranger offers an alternate path, María makes a desperate choice. She vows to have no regrets. This is a story about love. 1827. London. A young woman lives an idyllic but cloistered life on her family’s estate, until a moment of forbidden intimacy sees her shipped off to London. Charlotte’s tender heart and seemingly impossible wishes are swept away by an invitation from a beautiful widow―but the price of freedom is higher than she could have imagined. This is a story about rage. 2019. Boston. College was supposed to be her chance to be someone new. That’s why Alice moved halfway across the world, leaving her old life behind. But after an out-of-character one-night stand leaves her questioning her past, her present, and her future, Alice throws herself into the hunt for answers . . . and revenge. This is a story about life―how it ends, and how it starts. "Schwab has impressively woven a compelling character drama and feminist critique into a horror thriller...sumptuous descriptions of place and time, and the slow-burn melodrama between each of the women... a tale told sharply but sweetly enough it goes down as easy as that happy-hour cocktail that, surprisingly, knocks you flat." ―New York Times “Schwab sends you whirling through a dizzying kaleidoscopic adventure through centuries filled with love, loss, art and war―all the while dazzling your senses with hundreds of tiny magical moments along the way.” ―Naomi Novik

📚 Why We Recommend It

Three women. Five centuries. One hunger that refuses to be tamed. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is V.E. Schwab at her most magnetic—braiding a sapphic vampire myth with historical sweep, thriller tension, and heady, candlelit prose. It moves from 1532 Spain to 1827 London to 2019 Boston, turning a classic trope into a feminist reckoning about desire, power, and the cost of freedom. It’s already a chart-topping, much-buzzed release with every first edition signed—perfect for readers who crave beauty with teeth and a story that lingers long after dark.
