The Fragile Threads of Power

About the book

A new door opens...

Once upon a time, there were four worlds, intertwined like pages in a magical book, each pulsating with fantastical powers and interconnected through the heart of a single city: London.

Following a desperate attempt to prevent corruption and destruction in the four Londons, only three remain:

• Grey London, prospering but struggling to recall its enchanting past
• Red London, governed by the Maresh dynasty, flourishing and dominant
• White London, plunged into savagery and decay

Now, these worlds are on the brink of collision once again - on the verge of a perilous calamity brought forth by the revelations of three extraordinary magicians.

First, there's Kosika, the young queen of White London, who sustains her city on blood and dreams, her deepening obsession steering her towards a treacherous journey.

Then there's Delilah Bard, a thief from Grey London who transcended boundaries to become a renowned figure in distant lands. She embodies a cunning magician, a daring heroine, and a daring renegade - an indelible persona. Drawn back by an old debt, Lila ventures back to a hazardous harbor to aid some unsuspecting friends in dire need.

Lastly, there's Tes, a spirited runaway with a unique and potent gift, concealed in Red London while evading the spotlight.

Tes holds the key to preserving the fragile balance of the worlds - as long as she can evade danger long enough to succeed.

From the pen of the esteemed V. E. Schwab comes a thrilling new chapter set in a beloved realm, where familiar faces confront a fresh, ominous menace.
