A Darker Shade of Magic

In "A Darker Shade of Magic," V.E. Schwab introduces Kell, one of the last Antari magicians with the unique ability to traverse parallel Londons—Red, Grey, White, and the now-lost Black London. While serving as an ambassador for the Maresh Empire, Kell secretly smuggles magical items to those yearning for a glimpse of other worlds. When a smuggling operation goes wrong, he encounters Delilah Bard, a determined cut-purse who not only robs him but also saves his life and entices him into a thrilling adventure across realms. Together, they must navigate perilous magic and treachery to protect all worlds.
