Everything casts a shadow. Even the world we live in. And as with every shadow, there is a place where it must touch. A seam, where the shadow meets its source. #1 New York Times-bestselling author V. E. Schwab weaves a dark and original tale about the place where the world meets its shadow, and the young woman beckoned by both sides. The Secret Garden meets Crimson Peak in this stand-alone novel perfect for readers of Holly Black and Neil Gaiman. Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for Girls, and all she has of her past is her mother's journal--which seems to unravel into madness. Then, a letter invites Olivia to come home to Gallant. Yet when Olivia arrives, no one is expecting her. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home; it doesn't matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile, or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways. Olivia knows that Gallant is hiding secrets, and she is determined to uncover them. When she crosses a ruined wall at just the right moment, Olivia finds herself in a place that is Gallant--but not. The manor is crumbling, the ghouls are solid, and a mysterious figure rules over all. Now Olivia sees what has unraveled generations of her family, and where her father may have come from. Olivia has always wanted to belong somewhere, but will she take her place as a Prior, protecting our world against the Master of the House? Or will she take her place beside him? New York Times-bestselling author V. E. Schwab crafts a vivid and lush novel that grapples with the demons that are often locked behind closed doors. An eerie, stand-alone saga about life, death, and the young woman beckoned by both. Readers of Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, Melissa Albert, and Garth Nix will quickly lose themselves in this novel with crossover appeal for all ages.

Egy élet, amire senki nem fog emlékezni. Egy történet, amit soha nem felejtünk el. Franciaország, 1714: egy fiatal nő végső elkeseredettségben fausti alkut köt az ördöggel, hogy örökké éljen, ám ezért cserébe súlyos árat fizet. Az ördög megfosztja a világban elfoglalt helyétől, és arra kárhoztatja, hogy mindenki elfelejtse, akivel találkozik. Így kezdődik Addie LaRue évszázadokat és kontinenseket átívelő, felejthetetlen története. Művészek múzsájaként vonul végig a történelmen, melynek során egyetlen társa az ördög, aki minden évben felkeresi az egyezségük évfordulóján. Aztán egy napon, egy manhattani antikváriumban Addie belebotlik valakibe, aki emlékszik rá. És ekkor rájön, hogy nem menekülhet örökké a végzete elől. Az Addie LaRue láthatatlan élete egyrészt a szerelem és az élet utáni végtelen vágyódás gyönyörű története, másrészt a művészetek és a tudás ünnepélyes himnusza. V. E. Schwab regénye a megjelenését követően számos országban bestsellerré vált, az olvasók és a kritikusok egyaránt ezt tartják írói pályája eddigi legfontosabb és legjobb művének.

In the vein of The Time Travelers Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwabs genre-defying tour de force. Addie La Rue has learnt the hard way that deals with the devil are tricky things. Immortal but eternally invisible and forgotten by people, Addie exists only as a muse for artists throughout history. The only person who remembers her is the devil, who visits every year on the anniversary of their deal. Until one day, in a bookshop in New York, she meets a boy who remembers her.

All-new deluxe edition of an out-of-print gem, containing in-universe short story "The Ash-Born Boy" and a never-before-seen introduction from V.E. Schwab. The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. There are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy. Part fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab's debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won't soon forget.

V. E. Schwab a Mágia Árnyalatai-trilógia magával ragadó, pompás fináléjában eldönti a négy mágikus London közötti küzdelmet. Londonok buknak el, királyságok virágoznak fel, mialatt sötétség söpör végig a Maresh Birodalmon – s a mágia törékeny egyensúlya immár a múlté. A Gyülekező árnyak folytatásában a már megismert főhősök, Kell antari és Szelina Bard, valamint régi ellenségeik sorsa új fordulatot vesz.

Kell az egyik utolsó vérmágus, aki képes utazni a London varázslatos városa által összekapcsolt párhuzamos világok között. Négy hónap telt el azóta, hogy egy rejtélyes obszidián kő a birtokába került, és találkozott Szelina Barddal. Négy hónapja, hogy Fehér London uralkodói, a Dane ikrek elbuktak, és a követ a haldokló Holland testével együtt visszaküldte Fekete Londonba. Kell álmait most baljós mágikus események kísértik, ébren pedig folyton Lina jár az eszében. Mialatt Vörös London az Elemek Viadalára - egy háromévente megrendezett nemzetközi, barátságos mágikus vetélkedésre - készül, egy bizonyos kalózhajó egyre közeledik. Időközben egy másik London lassan új életre kel. A mágia egyensúlya kényes és veszélyekkel teli; és ahhoz, hogy az egyik város felvirágozzon, egy másiknak vesznie kell...

Párhuzamos világokban játszódik a fantasy. A főhős, Kell nagykövetként utazik Szürke London, Vörös London és Fehér London között, és egy kicsempészett tárgynak köszönhetően nagy bajba kerül, főleg amikor egy csinos zsebmetsző kizsebeli.
