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

Per anni Verity City è stata teatro di crimini e attentati, finché ogni episodio di violenza ha cominciato a generare mostri, creature d'ombra appartenenti a tre stirpi: i Corsai e i Malchai, avidi di carne e sangue umani, e i Sunai, più potenti, che come implacabili angeli vendicatori con il loro canto seducente catturano e divorano l'anima di chi si sia macchiato di gravi crimini. Ora la città è attraversata da un muro che separa due mondi inconciliabili e difende una fragile tregua: al Nord lo spietato Callum Harker offre ai ricchi protezione in cambio di denaro, mentre al Sud Henry Flynn, che ha perso la famiglia nella guerra civile, si è messo a capo di un corpo di volontari pronti a dare la vita pur di difendere i concittadini e ha accolto come figli tre Sunai. In caso di guerra la leva più efficace per trattare con Harker sarebbe la figlia. Così August, il più giovane Sunai, si iscrive in incognito alla stessa accademia di Kate per tenerla sotto controllo. Ma lei, irrequieta, implacabile e decisa a tutto pur di dimostrare al padre di essere sua degna erede, non è un'ingenua...

High school student Charlotte Tills gets into a fatal car accident. She comes to life, but already with extraordinary abilities. Extraordinary people are terribly rare. They can pose a threat both to themselves and to others. Few people know about their existence, and an organization called EON is doing its best to keep it that way: it tracks them down and kills them. After coming back to life, Charlotte can see how others will die. She also sees her own death - at the hands of EON's best assassin, Eli Ever. To save herself and protect her family, Charlotte must act preemptively and kill Eli before he tracks her down.
