From #1 New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab return to the phenomenal Shades of
Magic series with A Gathering of Shadows now in a repackaged trade paperback edition. 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-and so to keep magic's balance another London must fall... Other books by V. E.
