What this book is about
Set seven years after the events of A Conjuring of Light, the Shades of Magic world faces a new threat as the barriers between the three Londons begin to break down. New characters — including a young woman with extraordinary power she can't control and a thief navigating the political fallout — carry the story forward. V.E. Schwab returns to the world that made her name with the same propulsive plotting and emotional depth.
