Addie is, of course, prevented from explaining her predicament to anyone, even if they would believe her. If she pays in advance for a room, the innkeeper has forgotten the payment next time they meet. A good Samaritan who’s convinced to help her forgets about it as soon as she leaves to bring food, and never returns. She won’t die or change until she willingly gives up her unremembered life but she can form no lasting relationships.Īddie’s family fails to recognize her when she returns to the village. Addie will be free of entrapment because everyone she meets will forget her once they’re out of her presence. This supernatural entity grants her wish in a way that’s as tricky and cruel as any fairy-tale curse.
Although she’s cautioned by her eccentric mentor never to deal with the gods that come out after sunset, Addie incautiously promises her soul to a Darkness in return for freedom from these entanglements.
A village girl in seventeenth-century France, she wants to avoid being shunted into an unwanted marriage that will trap her in this small country backwater, isolated from the larger world she longs to know. Addie LaRue doesn’t set out to become immortal.
