Monsters of Verity Series

Monsters of Verity is a gripping duology by V.E. Schwab, set in a world where acts of violence literally create monsters. The story unfolds in the divided city of Verity, with Kate Harker and August Flynn at its heart. Kate, wanting to prove her toughness, struggles with her father's ruthless ways while August, who is a monster, just wants to be human. The city is split between the northern side, controlled by Kate's father who demands payment for protection from the monsters, and the southern side, where August's adoptive father leads a resistance to keep people safe. As violence breeds chaos, the unlikely alliance between Kate and August challenges their beliefs about humanity and monstrosity in a dark, action-packed, and emotionally charged setting.
