This Savage Song

Schwab, Victoria

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, who uses his power to protect the innocent. Thrown together by a crumbling truce and a failed assassination attempt, Kate and August must flee to save themselves. In This Savage Song, Victoria Schwab creates her own dark metropolis, worthy of being compared to Gotham. But it’s not superheroes who will save this city—it’s two teenagers. This Savage Song is the first in a two-book saga about finding where we belong and becoming who we are meant to be. Kirkus says, “the world is fascinating . . . the characters complicated, and the political machinations and emotional depths both charged and compelling . . . just the ticket for an all-night read.”
