    In a city engulfed by war and monsters, a young woman and a young man grapple with their identities as the future of their home hangs in the balance. This dark urban fantasy by Victoria Schwab introduces Kate Harker and August Flynn, heirs to a divided city where violence has birthed real monsters. Kate yearns to emulate her ruthless father, who allows monsters to roam free while exploiting humans for protection. In contrast, August, a monster himself, longs to be human and protect the innocent, but he possesses the ability to steal souls through music. When he seizes the opportunity to watch over Kate, recently expelled from her sixth boarding school, their fates intertwine. However, after Kate uncovers August’s secret, they find themselves on the run following a failed assassination attempt. Schwab masterfully constructs a gritty metropolis reminiscent of Gotham and the various Londons from her previous works. As they navigate threats from external monsters and their own inner demons, Kate and August must decide whether to embrace heroism or villainy. This compelling tale is essential for fans of dark fantasy and complex characters.

    A New York Times bestseller The bestselling sequel—and conclusion—to Victoria Schwab’s instant #1 New York Times bestseller This Savage Song. Kate Harker is a girl who isn’t afraid of the dark. She’s a girl who hunts monsters. And she’s good at it. August Flynn is a monster who can never be human. No matter how much he once yearned for it. He has a part to play. And he will play it, no matter the cost. Nearly six months after Kate and August were first thrown together, the war between the monsters and the humans is a terrifying reality. In Verity, August has become the leader he never wished to be, and in Prosperity, Kate has become the ruthless hunter she knew she could be. When a new monster emerges from the shadows—one who feeds on chaos and brings out its victim’s inner demons—it lures Kate home, where she finds more than she bargained for. She’ll face a monster she thought she killed, a boy she thought she knew, and a demon all her own. A gorgeously written dark fantasy from New York Times–bestselling author Victoria Schwab, and one to hand to fans of Holly Black, Laini Taylor, and Maggie Stiefvater. “Explosive.”—Brightly
