But another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought to be forever gone have returned… As Red London finalizes preparations for the Element Games, a certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends back into port.

Restless, and having given up smuggling, Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events. In many ways, things have almost returned to normal, though Rhy is more sober, and Kell is now plagued by his guilt.


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. 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. Schwab (all of her books), The Shades of Magic series was originally an adult fantasy, but there are more books to come and even a comic prequel series.
