It has been four months since the mysterious stone fell into Kell’s possession. Four months since he crossed paths with Delilah Bard. Now, while his own city is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of a cross-empire magical competition, a once-lost London is returning to life.
But the balance of magic is ever perilous, and for one city to flourish, another London must die.

What to read next
The next book in the Shades of Magic series is A Conjuring of Light, so I would recommend reading that next. If you have completed the series, you may want to read The Fragile Threads of Power. It’s the first book in a new trilogy set in the same world as the Shades of Magic series.
