It
has been four months since a mysterious obsidian stone fell into Kell's
possession. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months
since Prince Rhy was wounded, and since the nefarious Dane twins of White
London fell, and four months since the stone was cast with Holland's dying body
through the rift--back into Black London.
Now,
restless after having given up his smuggling habit, Kell is visited by dreams
of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila, who disappeared from
the docks as 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.
And
while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Games,
another London is coming back to life. After all, a shadow that was gone in the
night will reappear in the morning. But the balance of magic is ever perilous,
and for one city to flourish, another London must fall.
“I
know where you sleep, Bard."
She
smirked. "Then you know I sleep with knives.”
