V. E. Schwab: Victorious

Friends and enemies meet again. Join the best-selling author for a talk on the triumphant conclusion to her Villains series, chaired by Saara El-Arifi. The number one Sunday Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil introduces her new book, Victorious. The ExtraOrdinaries of Merit City – a secret group of individuals gifted with powers connected to their near-death experiences – have been keeping a low profile, avoiding the ever-watchful eye of EON in the wake of a showdown. But when EON, and its relationship to the ExtraOrdinaries, begins to change under the leadership of a new director with a terrifying agenda, the time for hiding is over. The path to the truth of what happened to EON leads our characters into the enemy’s lair at EON headquarters, where they encounter unexpected allies, shocking new abilities and the ultimate confrontation. Against all the years, the betrayals and the odds, the arch-rivals and their allies meet for a final time on a chessboard laid out by a rival they didn’t expect. V. E. Schwab is the author of Vicious and Vengeful – the first two instalments in the Villains series – the Shades of Magic series, Gallant, The Near Witch and more. Her writing spans multiple genres, including fantasy and supernatural fiction.
