A Gathering of Shadows

About the book

It has been four months since Kell came into possession of the shadow stone. Four months since he met Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was injured and the Dane twins fell, leading to the stone being hurled into Black London along with Holland's dying body.

Despite things seeming to return to normal, Rhy is more serious and Kell is burdened with guilt. No longer involved in smuggling, Kell is troubled by foreboding dreams of magical occurrences and can't stop thinking about Lila, who disappeared from the docks. As Red London gets ready for the Element Games, a grand magic contest to strengthen ties between neighboring countries, an old pirate ship docks bringing back familiar faces.

While Red London revels in the excitement of the Games, another London is awakening, bringing back those believed to be lost. Just as a shadow disappears at night only to reappear in the morning, Black London has resurfaced, signaling the need for another London to fall to maintain the balance of magic...as depicted in V.E. Schwab's A Gathering of Shadows.
