Parallel Londons, magic, treachery, and defiant adventure.

If you fancy a jump into a world (or rather, worlds) where magic is not only real but also varied across different dimensions, "A Darker Shade of Magic" could be your gateway. V.E. Schwab crafts parallel worlds with such intricate differences, it's as if each London has its own personality. The blend of adventure, nuanced characters, and clever magic system make this more than just your typical fantasy—it's a tour across realms that feel curiously like home, yet thrillingly foreign.

Description

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.
