This Savage
Song— The First of Two Books by Victoria Schwab
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.
