A super-powered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful
intentions--V. E. Schwab returns with the thrilling follow-up to
Vicious.
Magneto and Professor X. Superman and Lex Luthor. Sydney and Serena
Clarke. Victor Vale and Eli Ever.
Great partnerships--now soured on the vine.
But Marcella Riggins needs no one.
Flush from her brush with death, she's gained the control she always
sought--and will use her newfound power to bring the city of Merit to
its knees. She'll do whatever it takes, from taking over the mob to
collecting her own sidekicks, and even leveraging the two most infamous
EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
With Marcella's rise, new enmities create surprising opportunity--and
the stage of Merit will once again be set for a final, terrible
reckoning.
"In Vengeful, V.E. Schwab is at the top of her game, with twisty
action, oddball family pairings and unexpected antiheroes you can't help
but root for." --Washington Post
"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
