Most people only know one London; but what if there were several? Kell is one of the last Travelers magicians with a rare ability to travel between parallel Londons.

Then, White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne. But once upon a time, there was Black London...

Review:

Inventive fantasy centring on a world with four versions of London, each with a different level of magic. One for Neil Gaiman fans. --The Guardian

A Darker Shade of Magic is smart, funny and sexy ... and Schwab keeps the excitement coming with roller-coaster plot twists that establish her as, perhaps, the natural successor to Diana Wynne Jones s contemporary fantasy crown.' --The Independent

Fans of fantasy (adults and young adults) will enjoy A Darker Shade of Magic, the new novel from Victoria 'VE' Schwab --The Telegraph
