In 2020, #1 New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab topped the charts with The Invisible Life of Addie Larue. Now comes Schwab’s next smash hit. . . ExtraOrdinary — a brand-new anti-villain graphic novel set in the world of Schwab’s best-selling Villains novels launching October 2021.

Taking place in the years between VICIOUS and VENGEFUL, ExtraOrdinary follows the tale of a teenage girl named Charlotte Tills who following a fatal bus crash, seemingly dies only to wake up to discover she has become an EO— a person with ExtraOrdinary abilities. In Charlotte’s case, it’s the ability to see people's deaths, but when she looks into her own future, sees her own murder at the hands of the selfproclaimed hero and notorious EO killer Eli Ever, who is currently in prison for the murder of Victor Vale.

Refusing to accept her fate, Charlotte sets off to find—and change—her future—before it comes for her.

This collection also features, for the first time ever in print, Schwab’s original 2013 text short story Warm Up, which is set in the Vicious universe.
