The fragile threads of power / V. E. Schwab.

Schwab, Victoria, (author.).

Summary:

It's been seven years since Kell, Lila, and Holland defeated the evil force known as Osaron. Lila has spent those seven years as captain of a ship, exploring her new magical world and occasionally spying for the Crown. Kell has spent them learning to fight with ordinary weapons now that wielding his magic causes him intense pain. Holland, of course, gave his life to defeat Osaron. But now a shadowy organization called the Hand is plotting against Kell's brother, King Rhy, and they've set their sights on a powerful magical object. Lila, Kell, Rhy, and Rhy's husband, Alucard, will all be drawn into new danger in their efforts to uncover the plot and protect their family. Meanwhile, a young girl named Tes with the rare ability to see and manipulate the threads of magic is hiding out in Red London, fixing magical objects -- and Kosika, the young queen of White London, will do whatever it takes to restore her world's magic.

    A new door opens...


    Once there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London.

    After a desperate attempt to prevent corruption and ruin in the four Londons, there are only three:
    ? Grey London, thriving but barely able to remember its magical heritage
    ? Red London, ruled lately by the Maresh family, flourishing and powerful
    ? White London, left to brutality and decay

    Now the worlds are going to collide anew—brought to a dangerous precipice by the discoveries of three remarkable magicians.

    There's Kosika, the child queen of White London, who has nourished her city on blood and dreams—and whose growing devotion to both is leading her down a dangerous path.

    Then there's Delilah Bard, born a thief in Grey London, who crossed the worlds to become a legend far from there. She's an infamous magician, a devious heroine, and a risk-taking rogue, all rolled into one unforgettable package. Having disappeared to seek new adventure, an old favor now calls Lila back to a dangerous port, to join some old friends who need more help than they realize.

    Last there is Tes, a young runaway with an unusual and powerful ability, hiding out in Red London while trying to stay out of the limelight.

    Tes is the only one who can keep all the worlds from unraveling—if she manages to stay alive first.

    From #1 New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab comes a new adventure set in a beloved world—where old friends and foes alike are faced with a dangerous new threat.
