🔥 COVER REVEAL! 🔥

Here's your exclusive first look at VICTORIOUS by @veschwab! From the 3-time Goodreads Choice Award-winning author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil comes the triumphant conclusion to the Villains series.

The ExtraOrdinary of Merit City, a secret group of individuals gifted with a power connected to their manner of near-death experience, have been keeping a low profile, avoiding the ever-watchful eye of EON in the wake of the showdown with Marcella and Eli. 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 Victor, Sydney, Mitch and the rest into the enemy's lair at EON headquarters, where they encounter unexpected allies, shocking new abilities, and the ultimate confrontation. Against all the years—and the odds—a group of allies and archrivals meet on a chessboard set by an opponent they couldn’t have predicted….to see who will be victorious.

A birthday snippet from LKOF

For Ro...

“Kit.” The voice sounded as if it was coming from very far away. Not Ty’s voice, either. Kit felt as if ice had been injected into his veins, but he forced himself to roll over onto his back.

Ty was there, a silver knife in his hand. He ducked his head and started cutting away the rope around Kit’s waist. Hovering just behind him was Livvy, half-translucent, her hair floating around her as if she were underwater just as Kit had been.

“Kit, you have to get up,” she was saying. Kit had seen a lot of ghosts in his life, but never one as clearly panicked as Livvy was now. “They’re here, they followed you —“

The words echoed inside Kit’s head, all sound and no sense. Follow, follow, follow. He caught at Ty’s wrist just as the rope fell away.

Hi! I think this is in reference to the Kitty endpapers for the trade edition of Last King of Faerie? They are so pretty.

So, the choice to have Kit and Ty on the endpapers is because half the book is about them. I was so puzzled by the phrase "Dru and Kit book" that I thought we were discussing a different project and I couldn't figure out what it was! I think it's Last King of Faerie, but I would never think of it as a Dru and Kit book. For one thing, that sounds like they're dating, which I think we can all agree would be a bad idea!

For another, Ty and Ash are just as important character-wise. We spend less time in their heads (although we do see from both POVs) but that is not a marker of how important a character is but rather a marker of what secrets people are keeping.

"Will we have more amazing Kit and Ty scenes"

That's a very kind way to ask :) While I can't say what happens, Kit and Ty have countless scenes together. Other than maybe the first chapter or two of the book, before Ty arrives at Cirenworth, they are together in every scene that either one of them is in. Except sometimes one of them goes to the bathroom. I hope we will not judge them for being apart at those moments. :)

Kit and Ty are just as important as Dru and Ash and they get just as much page time, in fact, if you're counting pages they get maybe ten more. But I do think when you've come down to counting pages it may be more of an anxiety exercise than anything else!

I am sure there will be lots of Kitty artwork. I will certainly commission art, but most art is at the whim of the fanartists of our lovely fandom. I do not think they will let you down.

There are other editions with other endpapers that are not Kit and Ty — there's Dru and Ash, there's Livvy, there's the Seelie Court. But the main and most common edition you'll find is Kitty and we chose that because half the book is their story.

(I'm trying to be better about answering questions! Stay with me!)

can we please get more dru ash teasers soon?

post tda has been mostly kitty snippets..seems like we get so much content full of love/angst for one couple but the other while druash fans are just waiting in agony for some crumbs is all 🥹

love kitty! but..i also love THE sebastian morgensterns son & THE drusilla blackthorn just as much 🖤

I have heard the same thing from Kitty fans since the first thing that was shared — the chapter sampler that went into the back of Better in Black — was all Dru! (And some Ash.)

The problem with the Dash teasers (and everything Kitty past about chapter 2) is how spoilery they are. And I am under something of a geas from my publisher about snippets, though that will change after BookCon (a pretty big sampler will be given away there, and so after that we can discuss more of what's in it!)

Here is something eensy — I am not able to post more than eensy, and that goes for Kit/Ty too!

“My family would never stop looking for me, either,” Dru said, even though she knew the words were unwise. 

“Just your family?” Ash said softly. “Is there no one else who loves you?” 

Dru blinked. “Are you asking if I have a boyfriend?” 

(He is.)
