This Savage Song Monsters Of Verity 1

#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 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.

Elle est humaine et se rêve en monstre, lui est un monstre qui se rêve humain La capitale de Verity étouffe, saturée de crimes toujours plus violents. Pire encore, ce mal terrible a commencé à s'incarner dans le monde réel : à chaque nouvelle horreur naît un monstre qui, à son tour, terrorise la population. D'un côté, les Corsai, qui grouillent dans le noir pour dévorer leur proie, de l'autre, les Malchai qui boivent le sang de leur victime au grand jour. Peu à peu, la résistance s'est organisée... Au nord, le cruel Callum Harker règne en maître, ne protégeant les habitants que contre rémunération. Au sud, Henry Flynn a choisi une tactique bien différente. Avec sa femme Emily, il a adopté comme ses propres enfants trois des abominations, trois Sunai – des créatures d'apparence humaine qui utilisent la musique pour dévorer l'âme de leurs adversaires. À la demande de ses parents, August élimine donc sans broncher les monstres comme les criminels qui les ont engendrés, mais il brûle de faire plus pour libérer le monde de cette malédiction. Alors, lorsqu'il a l'occasion de surveiller d'un peu plus près Kate Harker, la fille de leur ennemi juré, il saute sur cette chance et accepte d'intégrer l'établissement huppé où elle a été envoyée, l'académie Colton. Mais la jeune fille ne tarde pas à découvrir son secret : s'il a tout d'un adolescent, il est en fait un prédateur assoiffé de vies humaines... Elle est humaine et se rêve en monstre, lui est un monstre qui se rêve humain. Mensonges et dissimulation, dilemmes moraux d'une grande cruauté, système magique fascinant fondé sur la musique... Ce roman sombre et vénéneux porte la patte unique de V. E. Schwab, l'autrice prodige de Shades of Magic et La Vie invisible d'Addie Larue.
