#1 New York Times Bestseller * An Amazon Best Book of the
Year
There's no such thing as safe in a city at war, a city overrun with
monsters. In this dark urban fantasy from acclaimed author Victoria
Schwab*,* a young woman and a young man must choose whether to become
heroes or villains--and friends or enemies--with the future of their
home at stake.
The first of two books, This Savage Song is a must-have for fans of
Holly Black, Maggie Stiefvater, and Laini Taylor.
Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city--a city
where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is
to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and
makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be
human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in
protecting the innocent--but he's one of the monsters. One who can steal
a soul with a simple strain of music.
When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who's just been kicked
out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it.
But Kate discovers August's secret, and after a failed assassination
attempt the pair must flee for their lives.
In This Savage Song, Victoria Schwab creates a gritty, seething
metropolis, one worthy of being compared to Gotham and to the four
versions of London in her critically acclaimed fantasy for adults, A
Darker Shade of Magic. Her heroes will face monsters intent on
destroying them from every side--including the monsters within.
The repackaged paperback includes a map of V-City!
