Synopsis

The triumphant conclusion to the Villains trilogy from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. 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, Eli, and Serena. 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, the betrayals, and the odds—the arch rivals and their allies will meet for a final time, on a chess board laid out by a rival they didn't expect.
