"Addictive and immersive, this series is a must-read."
--Entertainment Weekly
Enter #1 New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab's beloved
Shades of Magic trilogy--a dazzling world of parallel Londons where
magic thrives, starves, or lies forgotten,
and where power can destroy just as quickly as it can create.
Kell is one of the last Antari**--**magicians with a rare, coveted
ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once
upon a time, Black.
Kell was raised in Arnes**--Red London--**and officially serves the
Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody
regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the
dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see.
Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for
even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see. It's a defiant
hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand.
After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into
Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him,
then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit
her to another world for a proper adventure.
Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save
all of the worlds, they'll first need to stay alive.
