Victor and Eli were once best friends—brilliant, ruthless, and obsessed with unlocking the science behind supernatural abilities. In college, they discovered that near-death experiences could trigger powers. Then their experiments turned deadly.
Ten years later, Victor has broken out of prison with revenge on his mind and a girl with a terrifying gift at his side. Eli, now a self-proclaimed savior, is hunting down anyone with powers—except his own unwavering companion. Each man believes he’s the hero of this story. Each is willing to destroy anyone who stands in his way.
With morally gray characters, razor-sharp tension, and a cat-and-mouse game that blurs the line between justice and vengeance, Vicious by V.E. Schwab is a dark, unflinching look at what it takes to become extraordinary.
