The magic is back — and so is Kell. A Gathering of Shadows is the thrilling second installment in V.E. Schwab's beloved Shades of Magic trilogy, set in a world of parallel Londons where magic is rare, dangerous, and utterly intoxicating.

Months after the events of A Darker Shade of Magic, Kell is restless and constrained by the Maresh crown. Lila Bard is sailing the seas, hungry for adventure. And a tournament of magic is about to bring them back together — along with a darkness neither of them is prepared for.

Schwab's world-building is unmatched, and this second book deepens everything that made the first so beloved. A must-own for any fantasy reader's shelf.
