A super-powered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful
intentions--#1 New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab returns
with the thrilling follow-up to Vicious.**
Magneto and Professor X. Superman and Lex Luthor. Victor Vale and Eli
Ever. Sydney and Serena Clarke. Great partnerships, now soured on the
vine.
But Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death,
she's finally gained the control she's always sought--and will use her
new-found power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She'll do
whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two
most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other.
With Marcella's rise, new enmities create opportunity--and the stage of
Merit City will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning.

power and revenge."--Kirkus Reviews, starred
Praise for Vicious
"Schwab's characters feel vital and real, never reduced to simple
archetypes...In a genre that tends toward the flippant or pretentious,
this is a rare superhero novel as epic and gripping as any classic
comic. Schwab's tale of betrayal, self-hatred, and survival will
resonate with superhero fans as well as readers who have never heard of
Charles Xavier or Victor von Doom."--Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
V. E. Schwab's Vicious is the superhero novel I've been waiting for:
