Can we just appreciate this for a minute.
Okay I'm not just appreciating I'm screaming internally and I haven't even read
'A Darker Shade of Magic' yet.
US Cover
UK Cover
How amazing are these!? Holy shit. I prefer the UK cover and since my copy of ADSOM has the UK cover I'm going to stick with that. Which do you prefer?
Spoiler alert! If you haven't read
ADSOM then don't read the following as it may contain spoilers (I don't know
myself since I haven't read it, I just copied and pasted). This is the BLURB
for A Gathering of Shadows.
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. Restless, and having given up smuggling, Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila, who disappeared from the docks like she always meant to do. As Red London finalizes preparations for the Element Games—an extravagant international competition of magic, meant to entertain and keep healthy the ties between neighboring countries—a certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends back into port.
But while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Games, another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought to be forever gone have returned. After all, a shadow that was gone in the night reappears in the morning, and so it seems Black London has risen again—meaning that another London must fall.
