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.

A Gathering of Shadows: Collector's Edition (Shades of Magic, #2)
Victoria E. Schwab
It has been four months since a mysterious obsidian stone fell into Kell's possession. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Prince Rhy was wounded, and since the nefarious Dane twins of White London fell, and four months since the stone was cast with Holland's dying body through the rift--back into Black London.
Now, restless after having given up his smuggling habit, Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila, who disappeared from the docks as she always meant to do. As Red London finalizes preparations for the Element Games--an extravagant international competition of magic meant to entertain and keep healthy the ties between neighboring countries--a certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends back into port.
And while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Games, another London is coming back to life. After all, a shadow that was gone in the night will reappear in the morning. But the balance of magic is ever perilous, and for one city to flourish, another London must fall.
A Gathering of Shadows - SAMPLE
Victoria E. Schwab
The first 150 pages available on NetGalley as a sneak peak.
Four months have passed since the shadow stone fell into Kell’s possession. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was wounded and the Dane twins fell, and the stone was cast with Holland’s dying body through the rift, and into Black London.
In many ways, things have almost returned to normal, though Rhy is more sober, and Kell is now plagued by his guilt. Restless, and having given up smuggling, Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila, who disappeared from the docks like she always meant to do. As Red London finalizes preparations for the Element Games—an extravagant international competition of magic, meant to entertain and keep healthy the ties between neighboring countries—a certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends back into port.
But while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Games, another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought to be forever gone have returned. After all, a shadow that was gone in the night reappears in the morning, and so it seems Black London has risen again—meaning that another London must fall.

Here, graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms. And when Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift," she realizes how much she still has to learn about the Veil -- and herself. And she'll have to learn fast. The city of ghosts is more dangerous than she ever imagined.
Concilio de sombras (Sombras de magia, #2)
Victoria E. Schwab
Han pasado cuatro meses desde que una misteriosa piedra obsidiana cayó en manos de Kell. Cuatro meses desde que Delilah Bard se cruzó en su camino. Cuatro meses desde que el príncipe Rhy fue herido y desde que los nefastos mellizos Dane del Londres Blanco cayeron y que la piedra fue arrojada con el cuerpo agonizante de Holland por el abismo de regreso al Londres Negro.
Ahora, Kell tiene pesadillas sobre alarmantes eventos mágicos y no puede dejar de pensar en Lila, que despareció por el muelle tal como lo había planeado. Mientras el Londres Rojo se prepara para los Juegos Elementales, una extravagante competencia internacional de magia pensada para entretener a los pueblos y para mantener las buenas relaciones entre los países vecinos, cierto barco pirata se acerca, trayendo viejos amigos de regreso. Y mientras el Londres Rojo está inmerso en el esplendor, otro Londres está resurgiendo…
El equilibrio de la magia siempre es un peligro y para que una ciudad florezca, otro Londres debe caer…
Conjuro de luz (Sombras de magia, #3)
Victoria E. Schwab

¿Quién caerá? Kell, que creyó ser el último Antari vivo, comienza a flaquear bajo la presión de lealtades rivales. Frente a la tragedia, ¿podrá sobrevivir Arnes?
¿Quién se alzará? Lila Bard, alguna vez una ladrona común —pero jamás corriente—, ha sobrevivido y se ha vuelto cada vez más fuerte al atravesar una serie de combates mágicos. Pero ahora deberá aprender a controlar la magia, antes de que esta pueda consumirla. Mientras tanto, el desprestigiado capitán del Aguja Nocturna, Alucard Emery, reúne a su tripulación y juntos emprenden una carrera contra el tiempo para conseguir lo imposible.
¿Quién tomará el control? Además, un viejo enemigo regresa a reclamar la corona, mientras un héroe caído intenta salvar a un mundo de la descomposición.
Dark (Shades of Magic, #3)
Victoria E. Schwab
Come si uccide un dio? Questa è la domanda che tormenta Lila e Kell mentre l’oscurità minaccia la loro casa. Londra Bianca, Londra Rossa, Londra Grigia e Londra Nera sono realtà alternative che rispondono a leggi magiche diverse. Solo gli Antari, esseri umani dotati di poteri particolari, possono viaggiare tra questi universi paralleli. I quattro regni sono vissuti in pace per anni, grazie alla magia che ha sigillato le forze del male impedendo loro di riversarsi sui regni. Almeno fino a ora. Osaron, la più oscura entità di Londra Nera, si è impossessato di Londra Rossa. E desidera essere venerato. Neppure i maghi più forti dell’impero possono competere con lui, così Kell e Lila si lanciano in un’impresa disperata. Insieme al pirata Alucard Emery e al redento Antari Holland intraprendono la ricerca di un artefatto magico in grado di sconfiggere Osaron definitivamente e impedire l’avanzata delle ombre in tutto l’impero.
De kleuren van licht (Schemering, #3)
Victoria E. Schwab
De gevoelige balans tussen de vier Londens staat op het punt te breken. De ooit zo vereerde magie werpt zijn duistere schaduw over Rood Londen en maakt de weg vrij voor een ander Londen om de macht te grijpen. Kell begint te bezwijken onder de druk van tegenstrijdige loyaliteiten en Lila moet leren haar magie te beheersen, voordat de magie háár beheerst.
Intussen verzamelt kapitein Alucard Emery zijn bemanning en bereidt hij zich voor op een race tegen de klok om het onmogelijke voor elkaar te krijgen. In de schaduwen keert een oude vijand terug om de kroon op te eisen, terwijl een gevallen held een wereld probeert te redden die voor zijn ogen uiteen lijkt te vallen.
Wie zal de macht grijpen? Wie zal roemloos ten onder gaan? Wie redt het tot het einde van deze overdonderende trilogie?
De kleuren van magie (Schemering #1)
Victoria E. Schwab
De meeste mensen kennen maar één Londen. Wat bijna niemand weet, is dat er vier verschillende Londens zijn. Grijs Londen: vies, saai en zonder magie. Rood Londen, waar magie wordt vereerd en de Maresh-dynastie heerst over een welvarend rijk. Wit Londen, waar men vecht om controle over de magie. En ooit was er Zwart Londen – maar daar heeft niemand het meer over.
Kell is een zeldzame magiër die tussen de verschillende versies van Londen kan reizen. Als hij in Grijs Londen zakkenroller Lila ontmoet, is dat het begin van een avontuur dat ze naar alle uithoeken van de stad brengt. Maar gevaarlijke magie ligt op de loer en het verraad achtervolgt hen. Om alle werelden te kunnen redden moeten Kell en Lila in de eerste plaats in leven zien te blijven, en dat blijkt lastiger dan gedacht.
De kleuren van schaduw (Schemering, #2)
Victoria E. Schwab
Het is vier maanden geleden dat de steen in het bezit van Kell kwam. Vier maanden sinds zijn pad dat van Lila Bard kruiste. Vier maanden sinds prins Rhy gewond raakte en de beruchte tweeling van Wit Londen werd verslagen. Nu, rusteloos sinds hij is gestopt met het smokkelen van magische goederen, wordt Kell ’s nachts geplaagd door duistere dromen, en overdag door herinneringen aan Lila.
Intussen maakt Rood Londen zich op voor de Element Spelen, een extravagante internationale magiewedstrijd die bedoeld is ter vermaak en om aangrenzende landen te vriend te houden. Men heeft het zo druk met de voorbereidingen dat niemand doorheeft dat een piratenschip vol oude vrienden steeds dichterbij komt. En dat een ander Londen, ver weg, langzaam aan kracht begint te winnen. Want een schaduw die ’s nachts verdwijnt, zal de volgende ochtend weer verschijnen. En de balans van magie is kwetsbaar. Als één stad opbloeit, moet een andere ten onder gaan…

Everything casts a shadow. Even the world we live in. And as with every shadow, there is a place where it must touch. A seam, where the shadow meets its source.
Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for girls, and all she has of her past is her mother’s journal—which seems to unravel into madness. Then, a letter invites Olivia to come home—to Gallant. Yet when Olivia arrives, no one is expecting her. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home, it doesn’t matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways.
Olivia knows that Gallant is hiding secrets, and she is determined to uncover them. When she crosses a ruined wall at just the right moment, Olivia finds herself in a place that is Gallant—but not. The manor is crumbling, the ghouls are solid, and a mysterious figure rules over all. Now Olivia sees what has unraveled generations of her family, and where her father may have come from.
Olivia has always wanted to belong somewhere, but will she take her place as a Prior, protecting our world against the Master of the House? Or will she take her place beside him?

LA BRUJA DE NEAR NO ES MÁS QUE UNA VIEJA HISTORIA QUE SE SUELE CONTAR PARA ASUSTAR A LOS NIÑOS.
SI EL VIENTO TE LLAMA POR LA NOCHE, NO DEBES ESCUCHARLO.
EL VIENTO ESTÁ SOLO Y SIEMPRE BUSCA COMPAÑÍA.
NO HAY EXTRAÑOS EN EL PUEBLO DE NEAR.
Estas son las verdades que Lexi ha escuchado toda su vida. Pero cuando un verdadero extraño –un joven que parece
esfumarse como el humo– aparece por la noche cerca de su casa, en el páramo, ella descubre que, al menos uno de esos dichos ya no es cierto.
A la noche siguiente, los niños de Near comienzan a desaparecer de sus camas y el misterioso joven se convierte en el primer sospechoso.
Mientras se intensifica la búsqueda de los niños, lo mismo ocurre con la necesidad de Lexi de saber más acerca de la bruja (que podría ser más que un viejo cuento para dormir), acerca del viento que parece hablar por la noche a través de las paredes y acerca de la historia de este chico sin nombre.
En parte cuento de hadas y en parte historia de amor, la primera novela de Victoria Schwab es completamente original y, sin embargo, dolorosamente familiar: una canción que escuchaste hace mucho tiempo, un susurro llevado por el viento y un sueño

Cuando a los padres de Cass les ofrecen realizar un programa de TV sobre los lugares más embrujados del mundo, la familia parte hacia Edimburgo, Escocia. Allí hay tumbas, castillos y pasadizos secretos rebosantes de fantasmas. Y cuando Cass conoce a una chica que comparte su «don», se da cuenta de cuánto le queda por aprender del Velo… y de sí misma.
Cass tendrá que aprender rápido: la ciudad de los fantasmas es más peligrosa de lo que había imaginado.

Legend (Shades of Magic, #2)
Victoria E. Schwab
Dopo la Notte Nera, una nuova minaccia incombe su Londra Grigia, Londra Bianca e Londra Rossa.
Sono passati quattro mesi da quando Kell ha trovato la pietra nera. Quattro mesi da quando ha incrociato il suo cammino con quello di Delilah, Rhy è stato ferito e i terribili gemelli Dane sono stati sconfitti. Ma, soprattutto, quattro mesi da quando la terra ha inghiottito il corpo di Holland insieme alla pietra, trascinandoli per sempre a Londra Nera. Le vite di Rhy e Kell ora sono indissolubilmente legate: se Kell muore, muore anche Rhy. Di notte, gli incubi perseguitano Kell con le immagini vivide degli eventi magici che si sono susseguiti e con il ricordo di Lila, sparita come era sua intenzione sin dall’inizio. Intanto, mentre a Londra Rossa fervono i preparativi per i Giochi degli Elementi, una competizione magica internazionale, un’altra Londra si sta lentamente risvegliando. Come un’ombra che, invece di dissolversi al mattino, accresce la sua oscurità, Londra Nera sta nuovamente interferendo con l’equilibrio magico. E per ripristinare l’ordine è necessario che un’altra Londra cada…
Los frágiles hilos del poder (Hilos del poder, #1)
Victoria E. Schwab
Se abre una nueva puerta.
Existió un tiempo en el que había cuatro mundos, encajados como las páginas de un libro, cada uno latiendo con un poder mágico y conectados por una única ciudad: Londres.
Tras un intento desesperado de prevenir la corrupción y la ruina de los cuatro Londres, solo tres quedaron en pie: el Londres Gris, próspero pero apenas capaz de recordar su herencia mágica; el Londres Rojo, rico y poderoso, gobernado en los últimos tiempos por la familia Maresh; y el Londres Blanco, abandonado a la brutalidad y a la decadencia.
Ahora los mundos van a volver a colisionar, atraídos hasta el borde de un peligroso precipicio por los descubrimientos de tres magas extraordinarias.
Primero está Kosika, la niña reina del Londres Blanco, que ha alimentado su ciudad a base de sangre y sueños, y cuya creciente devoción por ambos la está llevando por un camino peligroso.
Luego está Delilah Bard, una ladrona que nació en el Londres Gris y cruzó los mundos para convertirse en una leyenda lejos de allí. Es una maga famosa, una heroína astuta y una canalla temeraria, todo a la vez. Tras desaparecer en busca de una nueva aventura, se ve obligada a regresar a un puerto peligroso para unirse a unos viejos amigos que necesitan su ayuda más de lo que imaginan.
Y por último está Tes, una joven fugitiva con una habilidad poderosa e inusual, que se esconde en el Londres Rojo mientras intenta mantenerse alejada de los focos.
Tes es la única que puede evitar que los mundos se terminen desvinculando, si es que consigue sobrevivir primero.
Viejos amigos y enemigos tendrán que enfrentarse a una nueva y peligrosa amenaza en un mundo que conoces muy bien.

Magic (Shades of Magic, #1)
Victoria E. Schwab
Kell è uno degli ultimi maghi rimasti della specie degli Antari ed è capace di viaggiare tra universi paralleli e diverse versioni della stessa città: Londra. Ci sono infatti la Rossa, la Bianca, la Grigia e la Nera, dove accadono cose diverse in epoche differenti. Kell è cresciuto ad Arnes, nella Londra Rossa, e ufficialmente è un ambasciatore al servizio dell’Impero Maresh, in viaggio alla corte di Giorgio III nella Londra Bianca, la più noiosa delle versioni di Londra, quella senza alcuna magia. Kell in verità è un fuorilegge: aiuta illegalmente le persone a vedere anche solo piccoli scorci di realtà che non potrebbero mai vedere. Si tratta di un hobby molto rischioso, però, e adesso Kell comincia a rendersene conto. Dopo un’operazione di trasporto illegale andata storta, Kell fugge nella Londra Grigia e si imbatte in Delilah, una strana ragazza che prima lo deruba, poi lo salva da un nemico mortale e infine lo costringe a seguirla in una nuova avventura. Ma la magia è un gioco pericoloso e se si vuole continuare a giocare prima di tutto bisogna imparare a rimanere vivi…

Mroczna krypta (Archiwum, #1-2.5)
Victoria E. Schwab
Autorka bestsellerowego Niewidzialnego życia Addie LaRue przedstawia niesamowitą opowieść o uniwersum, w którym ludzkie dusze spoczywają jak książki na półkach pewnej sekretnej biblioteki.
W tym świecie zmarłych nazywa się Historiami, a rozległe królestwo, w którym przebywają - Archiwum. Każdy ma do opowiedzenia własną historię i tylko Bibliotekarze mogą oglądać ją na obrazach pamięci.
Dziadek Mackenzie Bishop po raz pierwszy zabrał ją do Archiwum, kiedy miała dwanaście lat. Teraz mężczyzna już nie żyje, lecz Mackenzie - idąc w jego ślady - wyrosła na bezwzględną Strażniczkę, której zadanie polega na powstrzymywaniu często bestialskich Historii przed przebudzeniem się i wydostaniem do świata zwykłych ludzi. Ze względu na swoją pracę dziewczyna okłamuje ludzi, których kocha, i czuje strach przed tym, czym się staje: narzędziem mającym zapewnić światu przetrwanie.
Bycie Strażniczką jest niebezpieczne - to ciągłe przypomnienie sobie o tym, co Mackenzie straciła. Zaczyna się zastanawiać nad granicą między życiem, śmiercią a snem. W Archiwum zmarłych nigdy nie wolno niepokoić, jednak ktoś celowo zmienia Historie, wymazując istotne dla nich rozdziały. Jeśli Mac nie zdoła poskładać tego, co zostało naruszone, Archiwum może popaść w zapomnienie, a wtedy zawali się również jej świat.
Po raz kolejny.
Dwie powieści oraz bonusowe opowiadanie z serii Archiwum po raz pierwszy ukazują się w jednym tomie. Wejdź do niezwykłego świata Strażników i przekonaj się, że pamięć bywa potężna... i zwodnicza.

Nearly six months after Kate and August were first thrown together, the war between the monsters and the humans is a terrifying reality. In Verity, August has become the leader he never wished to be, and in Prosperity, Kate has become the ruthless hunter she knew she could be. When a new monster emerges from the shadows—one who feeds on chaos and brings out its victim’s inner demons—it lures Kate home, where she finds more than she bargained for. She’ll face a monster she thought she killed, a boy she thought she knew, and a demon all her own.

Questo canto selvaggio (I Mostri di Verity #1)
Victoria E. Schwab
Per anni Verity City è stata teatro di crimini e attentati, finché ogni episodio di violenza ha cominciato a generare mostri, creature d'ombra appartenenti a tre stirpi: i Corsai e i Malchai, avidi di carne e sangue umani, e i Sunai, più potenti, che come implacabili angeli vendicatori con il loro canto seducente catturano e divorano l'anima di chi si sia macchiato di gravi crimini. Ora la città è attraversata da un muro che separa due mondi inconciliabili e difende una fragile tregua: al Nord lo spietato Callum Harker offre ai ricchi protezione in cambio di denaro, mentre al Sud Henry Flynn, che ha perso la famiglia nella guerra civile, si è messo a capo di un corpo di volontari pronti a dare la vita pur di difendere i concittadini e ha accolto come figli tre Sunai. In caso di guerra la leva più efficace per trattare con Harker sarebbe la figlia. Così August, il più giovane Sunai, si iscrive in incognito alla stessa accademia di Kate per tenerla sotto controllo. Ma lei, irrequieta, implacabile e decisa a tutto pur di dimostrare al padre di essere sua degna erede, non è un'ingenua...
Shades of Magic Boxed Set (Shades of Magic, #1-3)
Victoria E. Schwab
Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once, Black. 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.
A Darker Shade of Magic — Kell serves the Maresh Empire—Red London, as he calls it—as an official ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons. After one such visit goes awry, Kell escapes his home for Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they'll first need to stay alive.
A Gathering of Shadows — While Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Element Games, another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought to be forever gone have returned.
A Conjuring of Light — As darkness sweeps the Maresh Empire, the once precarious balance of power among the four Londons has reached its breaking point.

Un autre monde vous attend, là, de l'autre côté du mur...
Kell est le dernier des magiciens de sang, des sorciers capables de voyager d'un monde à l'autre. Des mondes, il y en a quatre, dont Londres est, à chaque fois, le cœur et l'âme. Le nôtre est gris, sans magie d'aucune sorte. Celui de Kell, rouge – on y respire le merveilleux à chaque bouffée d'air. Le troisième est blanc : là, les sortilèges se font si rares qu'on s'y tranche la gorge pour une simple incantation. Le dernier est noir, noir comme la mort qui l'a envahi quand la magie a dévoré tout ce qui s'y trouvait, obligeant les trois autres à couper tout lien avec lui.
Depuis cette contagion, il est interdit de transporter le moindre objet entre les univers. C'est malgré tout ce que Kell va prendre le risque de faire, histoire de défier la famille royale qui l'a pourtant adopté comme son fils, à commencer par le prince Rhy, son frère, pour qui il donnerait par ailleurs sa vie sans hésiter. Mais, à force de jouer avec le feu, il finit par commettre l'irréparable : il emporte jusque dans le Londres gris une pierre noire comme la nuit, qu'une jeune fille du nom de Lila décide, sur un coup de tête, de lui subtiliser. Pour elle comme pour lui – pour leurs deux mondes, à vrai dire – le compte à rebours est lancé.
Un autre monde vous attend, là, de l'autre côté du mur... Découvrez Shades of Magic, trilogie unanimement saluée par la critique, signée d'une jeune auteure prodige, V. E. Schwab.

Once just a single ship, now the pirate fleet of the Rebel Army numbers in its thousands.

The Rebel Army is a battalion made up of traitors to each of the three empires, who've claimed the open waters of the Blood Coast as their territory. Led by a Faroan, a Veskan, and an Arnesian (Rowan, the Antari from the Night of Knives), the RA started as a rag-tag gang, a single ship, but in the last few months, they've gained momentum. Once content to claim the open water as their empire, they've grown in ambition, and scope, and now they're claiming ports, creeping toward a full-on land assault. Their goal? London. But first, they'll have to cross Verose, where Maxim, Isra, and the royal guard are waiting.

Victoria E. Schwab
Kell est le dernier des magiciens de sang, des sorciers capables de voyager d'un monde à l'autre. Des mondes, il y en a quatre, dont Londres est, à chaque fois, le cœur et l'âme. Le premier, gris, est le nôtre. Le second, rouge, déborde de magie. Dans le troisième, blanc, elle s'est faite rare, et dans le dernier, noir, elle a tout dévoré. Quatre mois ont passé depuis qu'un talisman maléfique est tombé entre les mains de Kell, depuis que le corps de son ennemi a été expédié dans le Londres noir en compagnie du joyau.
Lila s'en est allée. Sans mot dire, au bout de trois jours d'épreuves inimaginables, elle a abandonné là Kell, sur un quai du Londres rouge, pour partir explorer le monde. Depuis, le jeune homme est assailli de rêves menaçants, dont il ne se réveille que pour penser à elle. La capitale bouillonne de fièvre car dans quelques jours commencent les Jeux des éléments, une compétition qui réunit les meilleurs magiciens de trois royaumes voisins, souvent en guerre par le passé. En prévision de l'événement, un navire à la réputation légendaire se rapproche d'ailleurs de la cité, ramenant de vieux amis à terre. Mais pendant ce temps, un autre Londres se réveille et revient petit à petit à la vie. Or rien ne peut venir bouleverser l'équilibre de la magie : pour qu'une ville prospère, une autre doit forcément décliner…

The Fragile Threads of Power (Threads of Power, #1)
Victoria E. Schwab
Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power, and connected by a single city: London. Until the magic grew too fast, and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three Antari are known in recent memory—Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.
But barely a glimpse of them have been seen in the last seven years — and a new Antari named Kosika has appeared in White London, taking the throne in Holland's absence," it continues. "The young queen is willing to feed her city with blood, including her own — but her growing religious fervor has the potential to drown them instead. And back in Red London, King Rhy Maresh is threatened by a rising rebellion, one determined to correct the balance of power by razing the throne entirely.
Amidst this tapestry of old friends and new enemies, a girl with an unusual magical ability comes into possession of a device that could change the fate of all four worlds," the description concludes. "Her name is Tes, and she's the only one who can bring them together — or unravel it all.

Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal. Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him.

Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city—a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent—but he’s one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music. When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who’s just been kicked out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it. But Kate discovers August’s secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must flee for their lives.

D'un Londres à l'autre, la magie ne cesse de tisser sa toile...
Sept ans se sont écoulés depuis que les portes entre les mondes ont été scellées. Sept ans, déjà, que Kell, Lila et Holland se sont opposés à Osaron en un âpre combat. Sept ans que les pouvoirs de Kell ont été brisés, que Holland a perdu la vie. Et sept ans que Lila et Kell, ensemble, ont pris la mer...
Aujourd'hui, c'est Rhy Maresh qui règne sur le Londres rouge. Mais un vent de rébellion souffle sur la capitale arnésienne, car la magie ne cesse d'aller en s'amenuisant. Or la rumeur voudrait que le roi en soit la cause. Sur le trône du Londres blanc, c'est Kosika qui siège désormais. Prête à entraîner son peuple dans sa ferveur religieuse nourrie de sang, la nouvelle souveraine joue avec des forces qui pourraient vite la dépasser. Tandis que les deux monarques luttent pour conserver leurs couronnes – et leur tête –, l'heure de rentrer au pays semble, à leur grand regret, avoir sonné pour Lila et Kell.
Au milieu de ce ballet d'anciens amis et de nouveaux ennemis, une jeune fille aux dons uniques entre malgré elle dans la danse : elle hérite presque par hasard d'un puissant artefact susceptible de changer à jamais le destin des mondes. Tess – c'est son nom – pourrait bien être la seule capable de rétablir l'équilibre des pouvoirs...

Uma Invocação de Luz
Victoria E. Schwab
À medida que a escuridão varre o Império Maresh, o equilíbrio de poder outrora precário entre as quatro Londres atinge seu ponto de rutura.
Na esteira da tragédia, Kell - assumido como o último Antari sobrevivente - começa a oscilar sob a pressão de lealdades concorrentes. Lila Bard, antes uma ladra comum - mas nunca vulgar -, sobreviveu e floresceu através de uma série de provações mágicas. Mas agora deve aprender a controlar a magia, antes que ela a mate.
Um inimigo antigo volta para reivindicar uma cidade, enquanto um herói caído tenta salvar um reino em decomposição. Enquanto isso, o desacreditado Capitão Alucard Emery recolhe sua tripulação, tentando uma corrida contra o tempo para conseguir o impossível.
Uma Magia Mais Escura (Shades of Magic #1)
Victoria E. Schwab
Kell é um dos últimos viajantes, magos com a capacidade rara e muito desejada de viajar entre universos paralelos, ligados através de uma cidade mágica.
Existe a Londres Cinzenta, suja e aborrecida, desprovida de qualquer magia e regida por um rei louco: George III.
Existe a Londres Vermelha, onde a vida e a magia são veneradas e onde Kell cresceu com Rhy Maresh, o herdeiro irreverente de um império próspero.
Existe a Londres Branca, um lugar onde as pessoas lutam para controlar a magia e a magia contra-ataca, consumindo a cidade até aos ossos.
Outrora, existiu a Londres Negra. Mas já ninguém fala dela.
Kell é oficialmente o viajante da Londres Vermelha, embaixador do império Maresh, guardião da correspondência mensal entre as realezas de cada Londres. Não oficialmente, é um contrabandista, servindo as pessoas dispostas a pagar pelo mais pequeno vislumbre de um mundo que nunca verão. É um passatempo difícil, cujas consequências perigosas Kell sofrerá em primeira mão.
Fugitivo na Londres Cinzenta, conhece Delilah Bard, uma fora da lei com aspirações grandiosas.
Primeiro, rouba-o, depois, salva-o de um inimigo mortífero e, por fim, obriga-o a levá-la para outro mundo à procura de uma verdadeira aventura.
Mas uma magia perigosa cresce e a traição está em todas as esquinas. Para salvar todos os mundos, têm, antes de mais, de sobreviver.

Victoria E. Schwab
Quatro meses decorreram desde que a misteriosa pedra negra ficou na posse de Kell. Quatro meses desde que o seu caminho se cruzou com o de Delilah Bard. Quatro meses desde que o príncipe Rhy foi ferido e desde que os maléficos irmãos Dane da Londres Branca foram derrotados. Quatro meses desde que, juntamente com o corpo moribundo de Holland, a pedra foi devolvida por uma brecha à Londres Negra.
Agora, inquieto desde que abdicou do seu prazer secreto de contrabandear objetos entre cidades, Kell é assaltado por pesadelos com terríveis acontecimentos mágicos, despertando a pensar em Lila, que desapareceu nas docas como sempre desejara.
Com os últimos preparativos para os Jogos Elementais - uma extravagante competição internacional de magia, destinada a entreter e a manter vínculos saudáveis entre países vizinhos - um certo navio pirata aproxima-se, reunindo velhos amigos. Enquanto a Londres Vermelha se vê a braços com o aparato e emoções fortes dos Jogos, uma outra Londres está a despertar para a vida. Afinal, uma sombra que fora devorada pela noite irá reaparecer com a alvorada. Porém, o equilíbrio da magia é muito perigoso e, para que uma cidade floresça, outra Londres tem de cair.

Una magia más oscura (Los colores de la magia, #1)
Victoria E. Schwab
Kell es uno de los últimos Antari, magos que poseen una extraña y codiciada habilidad para viajar entre varios Londres Rojo, Gris, Blanco y, hace mucho tiempo, Negro. Kell creció en Arnes, el Londres Rojo, y sirve de manera oficial al imperio de Maresh como embajador, lo que significa que viaja entre los frecuentes y sangrientos cambios de régimen en el Londres Blanco y en la corte de George III en el Londres más aburrido, el que ya no tiene nada de magia. De manera extraoficial, Kell es un contrabandista que atiende a las personas que están dispuestas a pagar incluso por los atisbos más pequeños de un mundo que nunca verán. Es un pasatiempo desafiante con consecuencias peligrosas, que Kell ahora está sufriendo en carne propia. Cuando un intercambio sale mal, Kell escapa al Londres Gris y se encuentra con Delilah Bard, una ladrona con grandes aspiraciones. Primero le roba, luego lo salva de un enemigo mortal y al final lo obliga a llevarla a otro mundo para vivir una aventura de verdad. Ahora se avecina una magia peligrosa, y la traición acecha en cada rincón. Para salvar todos los mundos, primero deberán hacer todo lo posible para sobrevivir. « Una magia más oscura tiene todos los rasgos distintivos de una obra clásica de fantasía. Schwab nos ha regalado una joya literaria. Hay que atesorar este libro». -Deborah Harkeness, autora de la trilogía All Souls, best seller del New York Times

Una obsesión perversa (Villanos #1)
Victoria E. Schwab
Víctor y Eli eran dos estudiantes universitarios brillantes pero arrogantes que reconocían, el uno en el otro, la misma agudeza y la misma ambición.
En el último año de su carrera, el interés compartido por la adrenalina, las experiencias cercanas a la muerte y los acontecimientos en apariencia sobrenaturales plantean una posibilidad intrigante: que, dadas ciertas condiciones, sería posible desarrollar habilidades ExtraOrdinarias. Pero cuando la tesis pasa de lo académico a lo experimental, las cosas salen horriblemente mal.
Diez años más tarde, Víctor escapa de la cárcel, decidido a encontrar a su antiguo amigo (ahora enemigo), con la ayuda de una niña cuyo carácter reservado esconde una capacidad asombrosa. Mientras tanto, Eli se ha propuesto erradicar a todas las demás personas con superpoderes que pueda encontrar... salvo a su compañera, una mujer enigmática de voluntad inquebrantable. Armados con inmenso poder, impulsados por el recuerdo de la traición y la pérdida, los archienemigos están decididos a vengarse... pero ¿quién quedará vivo al final?
Una venganza mortal (Villanos, #2)
Victoria E. Schwab
ALIADOS. ENEMIGOS. VILLANOS.
ELLOS SON EXTRAORDINARIOS.
Eli Ever y Victor Vale eran simples estudiantes de medicina cuando descubrieron que las experiencias cercanas a la muerte pueden, si se dan ciertas condiciones, manifestar capacidades ExtraOrdinarias.
Fueron muy amigos, luego rivales y, por fin, enemigos. Estuvieron muertos, revivieron, y más tarde... Eli mató a Victor de una vez por todas.
Al menos, eso creía. Pero Sydney Clarke no estuvo de acuerdo y usó su propio superpoder para inclinar la balanza. Ahora, un trío se esconde en las sombras, mientras otro aprovecha la vida después de la muerte para apoderarse de la ciudad de Merit.
Si puede haber vida después de la muerte... ¿habrá calma después de la venganza, o prevalecerá el caos?

Y un nuevo monstruo espera... un monstruo que se alimenta del caos y que hace aflorar los demonios internos de sus víctimas. ¿Cuáles serán más difíciles vencer: los monstruos contra los que pelean, o sus monstruos internos?

Pe măsură ce își dă seama de limitele pactului său faustian – abilitatea de a trăi veșnic și de a fi uitată de toți cei pe care îi întâlnește – Addie alege să fugă din micul ei sat, atunci când tot ceea ce a iubit odată este distrus.
Dar încă are visuri și o viață de trăit și este hotărâtă să găsească entuziasmul și satisfacția în lumea largă – chiar dacă este condamnată să fie singură pentru totdeauna.
Sau nu chiar atât de singură, căci, în fiecare an, de ziua ei, seducătorul Luc vine în vizită pentru a verifica dacă este pregătită să renunțe la sufletul ei. Jocul lor palpitant și întunecat se desfășoară de-a lungul veacurilor, Addie fiind martora momentelor istorice în timp ce acestea au loc, luptându-se să se recapete pe sine însăși, în timp ce traversează oceanele și încearcă să își construiască vieți diferite.

Uma história sobre ambição, inveja, desejo e superpoderes, da autora da série Tons de Magia. Victor e Eli, dois jovens brilhantes, arrogantes e solitários, se conheceram na Universidade de Merit e logo se deram bem, identificando um no outro a mesma sagacidade e a mesma ambição. No último ano da faculdade, o interesse em comum numa pesquisa sobre adrenalina, experiências de quase morte e poderes sobrenaturais lhes oferece uma possibilidade antes inimaginável: de que uma pessoa, sob as condições certas, seja capaz de desenvolver habilidades extraordinárias. No entanto, quando colocam em prática essa teoria, as coisas dão muito errado. Dez anos depois, Victor foge da prisão, determinado a encontrar seu antigo amigo — agora inimigo. Para localizá-lo, ele conta com a ajuda de uma garotinha, Sydney, cuja natureza reservada esconde uma habilidade sem igual, mas extremamente perigosa. Enquanto isso, há dez anos Eli tem uma única missão: erradicar todas as pessoas ExtraOrdinárias que encontra — exceto sua ajudante, Serena, uma mulher enigmática e persuasiva, capaz de impor sua vontade a qualquer um. Armado com poderes terríveis e movido pela lembrança da traição e da perda, Victor caça seu arqui-inimigo em busca de vingança e de um embate no qual sabe que um dos dois deve morrer.
Vingança (Vilões, #2)
Victoria E. Schwab
Victor Vale e Eli Ever. Grandes amigos no passado, mas agora inimigos mortais que se enfrentam em Vingança, o capítulo final da série Vilões, de V. E. Schwab.
Um mês e meio antes, Marcella tinha a vida com a qual sempre havia sonhado. Casada com Marcus, um mafioso em ascensão na cidade de Merit, ela vivia numa mansão e tinha todas as roupas e acessórios que desejava, frequentava as melhores festas e, nos bastidores, planejava com o marido os próximos passos de sua carreira. Sua vida teria seguido exatamente como o planejado, se ela não houvesse descoberto que Marcus a traía. Então, Marcella tentou esfaqueá-lo, mas Marcus era um homem forte, acostumado a matar, por isso não demorou a desacordá-la e abandoná-la para que morresse no incêndio da mansão do casal. Mas esse não seria o fim de Marcella...
Cinco anos antes, Victor Vale morreu. Porém, depois do embate com seu antigo amigo de faculdade, Eli Cardale – ou Eli Ever, o assassino de ExtraOrdinários –, Sydney Clarke o trouxe de volta à vida. Mas os poderes da menina tinham limitações, e Victor não ressuscitou exatamente como era. Então, ele passou a dedicar sua vida em busca de uma cura, caçando EOs com poderes capazes de ajudá-lo.
Cinco anos antes, Eli Ever foi preso. Após deixar um rastro de cadáveres de EOs, os quais, segundo ele, eram uma afronta a Deus, Eli caiu numa armadilha preparada por Victor. Então, sob custódia de uma nova força-tarefa responsável por lidar com casos envolvendo ExtraOrdinários, ele se tornou uma ferramenta dessa instituição. Com isso, Eli se manteve informado sobre os acontecimentos externos, que alimentaram sua suspeita de que ele não havia testemunhado o verdadeiro fim de Victor.
Agora, Merit é o palco de um novo confronto capaz de alterar a balança do poder para sempre. E os caminhos de Marcella, Victor e Eli estão fadados a se cruzar em um encontro que vai definir a vida de todos em Vingança, a conclusão explosiva da série Vilões.

Ели и Виктор са съквартиранти в университета. Брилянтни, арогантни, самотни момчета, разпознали интелекта и амбицията един в друг.
Техният споделен изследователски интерес към преживяванията, близки до смъртта, и към свръхспособностите разкрива възможност за интригуващ експеримент – при определени условия и при завишено количество адреналин всеки би могъл да се сдобие със суперсили.
Но прилагането на теорията на практика променя живота на момчетата завинаги...
Приятели, превърнали се във врагове, и сестри, обърнали се една срещу друга, изпитват границите на жестокостта в търсене на възмездие в книгата на В. Е. Шуаб, сложила началото на едноименната поредица „Злодеи“...

Незриме життя Адді Лярю
Victoria E. Schwab

Четирите цвята на магията (Shades of Magic, #1)
Victoria E. Schwab
"Четирите цвята на магията" е първата част от нашумялата трилогия на В. Е. Шуаб за Кел - магьосникът, пътуващ през световете, и за Делайла Бард - крадлата с душа на пират.
Магията, жива и непокорна, има четири цвята: В процъфтяващия Червен Лондон тя е в равновесие с живота. В гладуващия Бял Лондон е подчинена, бореща се и враждебна. Обикновеният Сив Лондон отдавна я е забравил. А в изгубения Черен Лондон магията е унищожила живота изобщо.
Кел е един от последните антари, магьосници с рядката и желана способност да пътешестват из паралелните светове. Кел води двойствен живот - служи като посланик на кралете, но и пренася контрабандно предмети през порталите. Докато един ден не получава странен черен камък като заплащане за незаконните си услуги. Когато осъзнава, че у него е попаднал опасен магически артефакт, вече е твърде късно.
Кел трябва да спаси световете от заплахата, която сам е донесъл, а съдбата го сблъсква с Делайла Бард - духовита джебчийка от Сивия Лондон, копнееща за приключения и за свой собствен пиратски кораб. Пред тях обаче се е изправил враг без ясни очертания, магия, черна и гъста като смола...
Страховити магии се вихрят навред и зад всеки ъгъл дебне предателство. А за да спасят всички светове, Кел и Лайла първо трябва да оцелеят…
