"Addictive and immersive, this series is a must-read." --Entertainment Weekly A Darker Shade of Magic gets an updated cover design in this repackaged hardcover edition with special extras including beautiful colored endpapers and a foil stamped design under the jacket. This edition also features a glossary of Antari spells and Arnesian words, and bonus short stories from within the Shades Universe. 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. Other books by V. E. Schwab The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Shades of Magic series A Darker Shade of Magic A Gathering of Shadows A Conjuring of Light Villains Duology Vicious Vengeful

From the characters to the plot, everything is carefully crafted and entertaining to read. The narrative is well-paced, and the worldbuilding is superb; I cannot recommend this book enough. It had me from the first line and kept me gripped so hard that I had to immediately buy the two sequels as soon as I read the last page.
Additionally, it was refreshing to see a POC royal family, a strong female co-lead that didn't get damseled at the first sign of our male MC, a compelling antagonist, and the amount of details that were remembered from the first book to the last. The magic system was structured and believable in-universe, and consistent throughout. I'm only not going into further into it because you deserve to discover this story all on your own. Why are you still listening to me? Go! Buy it! Win!
