About this book

**KATE HARKER** wants to be as ruthless as her father. After five years and six boarding schools, she's finally going home to prove that she can be.

**AUGUST FLYNN** wants to be human. But he isn't. He's a monster, one that can steal souls with a song. He's one of the three most powerful monsters in a city overrun with them. His own father's secret weapon.

**THEIR CITY IS DIVIDED.**

**THEIR CITY IS CRUMBLING.**

Kate and August are the only two who see both sides, the only two who could do something.

But how do you decide to be a hero or a villain when it's hard to tell which is which?
