"There was a time when there were four worlds, each pulsating with magical power and connected by a single city: London. After a desperate attempt to prevent the corruption and ruin of the four Londons, only three remained standing: Gray London, prosperous but barely able to remember its magical heritage; Red London, rich and powerful, ruled in recent times by the Maresh family; and White London, abandoned to brutality and decadence. Now the worlds are going to collide again, drawn to the edge of a dangerous precipice by the discoveries of three extraordinary magicians."--

"Mientras la oscuridad se extiende por el imperio Maresh, el precario equilibrio de poder entre los cuatro Londres ha llegado a un punto crâitico. Ahora, mientras un enemigo ancestral regresa desde otro mundo para desatar el caos y la destrucciâon, amigos y enemigos deberâan unir fuerzas en una carrera desesperada para salvarse del fin del mundo."--

"La segunda aventura en la câelebre trilogâia Los colores de la magia, de la autora best seller V. E. Schwab. Un universo deslumbrante con mundos paralelos donde el equilibrio de poder siempre estâa en riesgo. Y donde, para que una ciudad prospere, otra debe morir. El Londres Rojo estâa sumido en el fulgor y las emociones del torneo Essen Tasch, al tiempo que otro Londres empieza a resurgir. Como una sombra que desaparece por la noche y reaparece por la maänana. Pero la magia siempre debe vivir en equilibrio, y, por tanto, otro Londres tendrâa que caer"--Provided by publisher.

Kell is one of the last Antari--magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black. Kell was raised in Arnes--Red London--and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see. It's a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand. After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure. Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they'll first need to stay alive.

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Mackenzie Bishop's grandfather first brought her here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now her grandfather is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was: a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive. Follow Mackenzie as she explores the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking, through these two timeless novels, now bound together in this thrilling collection. With stunning prose and a captivating mixture of action, romance, and horror, The Dark Vault delves into a richly imagined world where no choice is easy and love and loss feel like two sides of the same coin.
