    In a city at war, where violence breeds actual monsters, a young woman and a young man must navigate their choices between heroism and villainy, friendship and enmity, with their home’s future hanging in the balance. This dark urban fantasy features Kate Harker and August Flynn, heirs to a divided city. Kate aspires to be as ruthless as her father, who allows monsters to roam free while charging humans for protection. In contrast, August longs to be human and protect the innocent, despite being one of the monsters capable of stealing souls through music. When August gets the opportunity to watch over Kate, recently expelled from her sixth boarding school, he seizes it. However, when Kate uncovers August’s secret, their lives are put in jeopardy after a failed assassination attempt forces them to flee. Victoria Schwab crafts a gritty metropolis reminiscent of Gotham and the various Londons from her acclaimed adult fantasy. The characters must confront external threats and the inner monsters they harbor, making their journey a compelling exploration of identity and morality.

    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
