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

Muitos humanos são monstros. E muitos monstros sabem se passar por humanos. Kate Harker e August Flynn vivem em lados opostos de uma cidade dividida entre Norte e Sul, onde a violência começou a gerar monstros de verdade. Eles são filhos dos líderes desses territórios inimigos e seus objetivos não poderiam ser mais diferentes. Kate sonha em ser tão cruel e impiedosa quanto o pai, que deixa os monstros livres e vende proteção aos humanos. August também quer ser como seu pai: um homem bondoso que defende os inocentes. O problema é que ele é um dos monstros, capaz de roubar a alma das vítimas com apenas uma nota musical. Quando Kate volta à cidade depois de um longo período, August recebe a missão de ficar de olho nela, disfarçado de um garoto comum. Não vai ser fácil para ele esconder sua verdadeira identidade, ainda mais quando uma revolução entre os monstros está prestes a eclodir, obrigando os dois a se unir para conseguir sobreviver.

#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.

Kell is one of the last Travelers -- magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel universes -- as such, he can choose where he lands. There''s Grey London, dirty and boring, without any magic, ruled by a mad King George. Then there''s Red London, where life and magic are revered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire. White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne -- a place where people fight to control magic, and the magic fights back, draining the city to its very bones. And once upon a time, there was Black London ... but no one speaks of that now. Officially, Kell is the Red Traveler, personal ambassador and adopted Prince of Red London, carrying the monthly correspondences between the royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they''ll never see -- a dangerous hobby, and one that has set him up for accidental treason. Fleeing into Grey London, Kell runs afoul of Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations, first robs him, then saves him from a dangerous enemy, and then forces him to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure. But perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, Kell and Lila will first need to stay alive -- and that is proving trickier than they hoped.

Imagine um lugar onde, como livros, os mortos repousam em prateleiras. Cada corpo tem uma história para contar, uma vida disposta em imagens que apenas os Bibliotecários podem ler. Aqui, os mortos são chamados de Histórias, e o vasto domínio em que eles descansam é o Arquivo. Mackenzie Bishop é uma implacável Guardiã, cuja tarefa é impedir Histórias – geralmente violentas – de acordar e fugir do Arquivo. Naqueles domínios, os mortos jamais devem ser perturbados, mas alguém parece estar, deliberadamente, alterando Histórias e apagando seus trechos essenciais. A menos que Mac consiga juntar as peças restantes, o próprio Arquivo sofrerá as consequências.

Quando a busca pelas crianças se intensifica, o mesmo acontece com a necessidade de Lexi de saber sobre a Bruxa que talvez não seja só uma história para dormir.

Schau der Hexe nicht in die Augen! Das Moor, das gleich hinter ihrem Haus anfängt, hat die 16- jährige Lexi schon immer als Bedrohung empfunden. Ebenso die Geschichten von der Hexe, die dort seit Urzeiten leben soll ... Als ein fremder Junge im nächtlichen Nebel vor ihrem Fenster auftaucht, ahnt Lexi, dass etwas Unheimliches geschehen wird. Und tatsächlich: Etliche Kinder aus dem Dorf verschwinden spurlos. Ihre Eltern verdächtigen schon bald den fremden Jungen, der wie ein Spuk mal hier, mal da erscheint. Doch Lexi weiss, dass etwas anderes dahintersteckt - etwas, das aus dem Moor kommt ... Victoria Schwab lebt in Nashville, Tennessee, und arbeitete nach dem Studium in den verschiedensten Jobs, ehe sie ihre Leidenschaft professionalisierte und Autorin wurde. Bücher hat sie schon immer über alles geliebt - und Geschichten, in denen die Realität aufbricht und etwas Dunkles, Geheimnisvolles, Anderes durchscheint. Verflucht ist ihr Debütroman.

The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. There are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger—a boy who seems to fade like smoke—appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi’s need to know— about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy. Part fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab’s debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won’t soon forget.
