Vengeful

Villains #2.

A super-powered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful intentions―V. E. Schwab returns with the thrilling follow-up to Vicious.

Marcella Riggins isn’t looking for a partner. She’s done watching iconic duos burn themselves out—Magneto and Xavier, Superman and Luthor, Victor Vale and Eli Ever. Let the great rivalries collapse. Marcella has risen from death with something better: absolute control.

Now she’s ready to remake Merit in her image. The mob? She’ll take it. Sidekicks? She’ll choose them herself. And the city’s most dangerous EOs—Victor and Eli—are just pieces on a board she intends to command. As Marcella ascends, old grudges twist into new alliances, and every power struggle sparks another chance to seize ground.

What follows is a ruthless escalation, the city reshaped by ambition, vengeance, and the intoxicating pull of power. When the dust settles, Merit will face a reckoning—one engineered by the woman who refuses to bow to anyone.
