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.
