A Darker Shade of Magic (428 pages)
Kell is one of the last Travelers—wizards with a rare and coveted ability to travel between parallel universes connected by a magical city. There's Gray London, dirty and dull, devoid of magic and with a mad king—George III. Red London, where life and magic are revered. White London: a place where magic is fought for control, and where magic reacts, draining the city to its bones. And once upon a time... Black London. But no one talks about it anymore.
Officially, Kell is the Red Traveler, responsible for the monthly correspondence between the royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, catering to those willing to pay for even the barest glimpses of a world they will never see. Fleeing to Grey London, Kell encounters Delilah Bard, a thief who assaults him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to take her to another world for a true adventure.
Dangerous magic is on the loose and betrayal lurks around every corner.
A Gathering of Shadows (564 pages)
Four months have passed. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard, among other chaotic events. In many ways, things have almost returned to normal, but Kell is frequently haunted by dreams of ominous magical occurrences.
As Red London finalizes preparations for the Elemental Games (an extravagant international magical competition intended to entertain and maintain ties between neighboring countries), a certain pirate ship approaches, bringing old friends back to the capital's harbor.
But Black London is gradually coming back to life, and those thought lost forever have returned.
A Conjuration of Light (748 pages)
Once brimming with the red vibrancy of magic, the Maresh empire is overrun by a shadow cast by darkness, leaving room for another London to emerge. And in the wake of the tragedy that befalls Red London, will Arnes resist?
Once a lowly thief—but never just any thief—Lila Bard has survived and progressed through a series of magical trials. But now she must learn to control her magic before it is drained by her own powers. Meanwhile, the disgraced captain of the Night Spire, Alucard Emery, rallies his crew to race against time in pursuit of the impossible.
An ancient enemy returns to claim the crown as heroes attempt to save a world in decay in the epic conclusion to V.E. Schwab's Shades of Magic series.
