›Vier Farben der Magie‹ ist der erste Band von V. E. Schwabs großer Fantasy-Trilogie um den Magier und Weltenwanderer Kell und um Delilah Bard, ihres Zeichens Diebin und Trickbetrügerin. Es gibt vier Farben der Magie: Im roten London befindet sie sich im Gleichgewicht mit dem Leben. Im weißen London wird die Magie versklavt, kontrolliert, unterdrückt. Dem grauen London ist sie fast abhandengekommen. Und im schwarzen London hat sie das Leben selbst vertilgt. Als einer der wenigen Antari springt Kell zwischen den verschiedenen Welten hin und her. Doch er führt ein Doppelleben: Er ist Botschafter der Könige, aber auch ein Schmuggler. Eines Tages wird ihm als Bezahlung für einen außergewöhnlichen Botengang ein schwarzer Stein zugesteckt. Dass es sich um ein mächtiges magisches Artefakt handelt, merkt er erst, als er sich von einem gefährlichen Feind verfolgt sieht, der ihm das gute Stück abjagen möchte und dabei vor keinem Mittel zurückschreckt. Auf der Flucht trifft der Magier die gewitzte Diebin Delilah Bard, die Kell zunächst ausraubt, ihm dann aber hilft. Allerdings erwartet sie eine Gegenleistung von ihm ... »›Vier Farben der Magie‹ hat alle Merkmale eines absoluten Fantasy-Klassikers: eine packende Geschichte, denkwürdige Figuren und eine phantastische, aber glaubhafte Welt. Das Buch ist ein Schatz.« (Deborah Harkness)

#1 New York Times Bestseller * An Amazon Best Book of the Year There’s no such thing as safe in a city at war, a city overrun with monsters. In this dark urban fantasy from acclaimed author Victoria Schwab, a young woman and a young man must choose whether to become heroes or villains—and friends or enemies—with the future of their home at stake. The first of two books, This Savage Song is a must-have for fans of Holly Black, Maggie Stiefvater, and Laini Taylor. Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city—a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent—but he’s one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music. When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who’s just been kicked out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it. But Kate discovers August’s secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must flee for their lives. In This Savage Song, Victoria Schwab creates a gritty, seething metropolis, one worthy of being compared to Gotham and to the four versions of London in her critically acclaimed fantasy for adults, A Darker Shade of Magic. Her heroes will face monsters intent on destroying them from every side—including the monsters within.

Experiencing ominous dreams, Kell watches Red London excitedly preparing for the Element Games international magic competition only to realize that the threat of Black London is returning.

Prepare to be dazzled by a world of parallel Londons—where magic thrives, starves, or lies forgotten, and where power can destroy just as quickly as it can create.

Ten years after an experiment designed to tap a human''s supernatural abilities goes terribly wrong, Victor breaks out of prison and resolves to track down his former roommate, Eli, who resolves to eradicate the world''s super-powered people.

Prima carte din seria FIRELE PUTERII. „Va încânta cititorii de fantasy de pretutindeni.“ Booklist Cândva, existau patru lumi, prinse ca paginile într-o carte, fiecare pulsând cu o putere fantastică, toate conectate printr-un singur oraș: Londra. Viața era plină de armonie până când magia a crescut prea repede, forțând lumile să sigileze porțile dintre ele într-o încercare disperată de a se proteja. Odată cu trecerea timpului, magicienii care dețineau puterea să deschidă porțile au devenit tot mai rari. Până de curând, se cunoșteau doar trei Antari: Kell Maresh din Londra Roșie, Delilah Bard din Londra Gri și Holland Vosijk din Londra Albă. În Londra Albă însă, în absența lui Holland, a apărut un nou Antari, Kosika, gata să-și hrănească orașul cu sânge. În Londra Roșie, regele Rhy Maresh este amenințat de o rebeliune în creștere. Dincolo de intrigi și de conflicte care pot îneca totul în sânge, o fată cu o abilitate magică neobișnuită intră în posesia unui dispozitiv care ar putea schimba soarta tuturor celor patru lumi. Numele ei este Tes și este singura care le poate salva. „Schwab inovează, adaugă noi amenințări și extinde într-un mod surprinzător lumea construită în CULORILE MAGIEI.“ MARIAN COMAN, redactor-șef Armada
