In early 18th‑century France, Addie LaRue bargains her soul for freedom from a life she does not want, only to be cursed with immortality that condemns her to be forgotten by everyone she meets. For centuries she wanders through history, seen in fleeting moments of art, music, and memory but never truly known. Eternally alone, Addie learns to carve meaning into impermanence, subtly shaping history through the lives she brushes past. Everything changes when she meets Henry, the first person in decades who can remember her name — a miraculous connection fueled by destiny and heartbreak. Their bond forces Addie to confront the price of freedom, the agony of erasure, and the enduring power of being remembered while redefining love, identity, and humanity across time and places.
