V. E. Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The
Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, opens another door to a new fantasy
series set in the dazzling world of Shades of Magic.
Prepare for tangled schemes and perilous adventures with friends old
and new in The Fragile Threads of Power.
Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing
with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. Until the
magic grew too fast and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them
in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could
still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three
Antari are known in recent memory--Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah
Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.
But barely a glimpse of them have been seen in the last seven years--and
a new Antari named Kosika has appeared in White London, taking the
throne in Holland's absence. The young queen is willing to feed her city
with blood, including her own--but her growing religious fervor has the
potential to drown it instead.
And back in Red London, King Rhy Maresh is threatened by a rising
rebellion, one determined to correct the balance of power by razing the
throne entirely.
These two royals from very different empires now face very similar
struggles: how to keep their crowns--and their own heads.
Amidst this tapestry of old friends and new enemies, a girl with an
unusual magical ability comes into possession of a device that could
change the fate of all four worlds.
Her name is Tes, and she's the only one who can bring them together--or
unravel it all.
