Symphony of Monsters: A Novel [Hardcover]

Set against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, international bestselling author Marc Levy’s new novel is a page-turning thriller full of courage, resilience, and love.

A mother’s love knows no borders, and her fight knows no limits.

Veronika, a nurse, returns home to find that her nine-year-old son, Valentyn, has disappeared. Overcome with a mother’s terror but fueled by relentless love, Veronika embarks on a perilous journey to find him.

At the same time, her fiercely independent teenage daughter, Lilya, sets off on her own reckless quest for her brother. Their searches are unknowingly aided by a reclusive hacker, a man indebted to Veronika who battles the conspiracy from the shadows. As the family faces unimaginable dangers, their fight for reunion becomes a testament to the enduring power of hope and courage against a monstrous, real-life plot that aims to erase a generation.
