E se potessi vivere per sempre, ma della tua vita non rimanesse traccia perché nessuna delle persone che incontri può ricordarsi di te?Nel 1714, Adeline LaRue incontra uno sconosciuto e commette un terribile errore: sceglie l'immortalità senza rendersi conto che si sta condannando alla solitudine eterna. Tre secoli di storia, di storie, di amore, di arte, di guerra, di dolore, della solennità dei grandi momenti e della magia di quelli piccoli.

Sono passati sette anni da quando le porte tra i mondi sono state sigillate. Sette anni da quando Kell, Lila e Holland si sono opposti a Osaron, in una battaglia disperata che ha salvato i mondi di Londra Rossa, Grigia e Bianca. Sette anni da quando la magia di Kell è stata infranta e Holland ha perso la vita. Ora Rhy Maresh governa Londra Rossa, che ribolle di cospirazioni e rivolte, mentre a Londra Bianca è comparsa una nuova Antari, Kosika, il cui cruento fanatismo religioso potrebbe evocare un potere troppo vasto per essere controllato.

Il destino di Victor è intrecciato a quello di Eli sin dai tempi dell'università, quando la loro comune sete di conoscenza, unita a una sfrenata ambizione, si rivelò fatale. Gettandosi a capofitto in una ricerca sull'adrenalina e le esperienze ai confini della morte, fecero una straordinaria scoperta: a determinate condizioni, è possibile sviluppare poteri soprannaturali. Ma le cose precipitarono... Sono passati dieci anni da allora e Victor è evaso di prigione, determinato a trovare il suo vecchio amico.

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. There’s Grey London, dirty and crowded and without magic, home to the mad king George III. There’s Red London, where life and magic are revered. Then, White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne. But once upon a time, there was Black London....

Santo Domingo de la Calzada, 1532. London, 1837. Boston, 2019. Three young women, their bodies planted in the same soil, their stories tangling like roots. One grows high, and one grows deep, and one grows wild. And all of them grow teeth.

1532. Santo Domingo de la Calzada. A young girl grows up wild and wily—her beauty is only outmatched by her dreams of escape.

Cass thinks she might have this ghost-hunting thing down. After all, she and her ghost best friend, Jacob, have survived two haunted cities while traveling for her parents' TV show. But nothing can prepare Cass for New Orleans, which wears all of its hauntings on its sleeve. In a city of ghost tours and tombs, raucous music and all kinds of magic, Cass could get lost in all the colorful, grisly local legends. And the city's biggest surprise is a foe Cass never expected to face: a servant of Death itself.

Kell est le dernier des magiciens de sang, des sorciers capables de voyager d'un monde à l'autre. Des mondes, il y en a quatre, dont Londres est, à chaque fois, le cœur et l'âme. Le nôtre est gris, sans magie d'aucune sorte. Celui de Kell, rouge – on y respire le merveilleux à chaque bouffée d'air. Le troisième est blanc : là, les sortilèges se font si rares qu'on s'y tranche la gorge pour une simple incantation. Le dernier est noir, noir comme la mort qui l'a envahi quand la magie a dévoré tout ce qui s'y trouvait, obligeant les trois autres à couper tout lien avec lui.

Une nuit de 1714, dans un moment de désespoir, une jeune femme avide de liberté scelle un pacte avec le diable. Mais si elle obtient le droit de vivre éternellement, en échange, personne ne pourra jamais plus se rappeler ni son nom ni son visage. La voilà condamnée à traverser les âges comme un fantôme, incapable de raconter son histoire, aussitôt effacée de la mémoire de tous ceux qui croisent sa route.

Four months have passed since the shadow stone fell into Kell's possession. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was wounded and the Dane twins fell, and the stone was cast with Holland's dying body through the rift, and into Black London. In many ways, things have almost returned to normal, though Rhy is more sober, and Kell is now plagued by his guilt.

"The Near Witch" is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely and always looking for company. There are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true.

Magisch, fesselnd, poetisch. Der internationale Bestsellergarant 2023. Einige Jahre sind verstrichen in den vier Londons, wo alles begann. Im roten London, in dem die Magie allgegenwärtig ist, macht sich Unzufriedenheit breit. Es geht sogar das Gerücht um, dass eine mysteriöse Organisation mithilfe eines magischen Artefakts ein Attentat auf den König plant. Die Suche nach den Attentätern führt die Magierin Lila Bard nicht nur ins weiße und graue London, sondern auch auf die Spur einer jungen Tüftlerin, die die Fäden der Magie manipulieren kann, und damit das Gleichgewicht zwischen den Welten verändern könnte.

Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. Until the magic grew too fast and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three Antari are known in recent memory—Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.

But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.
