Kell is one of the last magicians with the ability to travel
between parallel universes, linked by the magical city of London.
It has been four months since a mysterious obsidian stone fell into
his possession and he met Delilah Bard. Four months since the Dane
twins of White London fell, and the stone was cast with Holland's
dying body back into Black London.Now Kell is visited by dreams of
ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila. And as Red
London prepares for the Element Games-an international competition
of magic-a certain pirate ship draws closer. But another London is
coming back to life. The balance of magic is perilous, and for one
city to flourish, another must fall...
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.
Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she
doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that
separates the living from the dead . . . and enter the world of
spirits. Her best friend is even a ghost. So things are already
pretty strange. But they're about to get much stranger. When Cass's
parents start hosting a TV show about the world's most haunted
places, the family heads off to Edinburgh, Scotland. Here,
graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless
phantoms. And when Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift," she
realizes how much she still has to learn about the Veil -- and
herself. And she'll have to learn fast. The city of ghosts is more
dangerous than she ever imagined. NYT bestselling author Victoria
Schwab delivers a thrillingly spooky and action-packed tale of
hauntings, history, mystery, and the bond between friends (even if
that friend is a ghost . . .).
The thrilling sequel to Victoria Schwab's New York Times
bestselling City of Ghosts! Trouble is haunting Cassidy Blake . . .
even more than usual. She (plus her ghost best friend, Jacob, of
course) are in Paris, where Cass's parents are filming their TV
show about the world's most haunted cities. Sure, it's fun eating
croissants and seeing the Eiffel Tower, but there's true ghostly
danger lurking beneath Paris, in the creepy underground Catacombs.
When Cass accidentally awakens a frighteningly strong spirit, she
must rely on her still-growing skills as a ghosthunter -- and turn
to friends both old and new to help her unravel a mystery. But time
is running out, and the spirit is only growing stronger. And if
Cass fails, the force she's unleashed could haunt the city forever.

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.
Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only
Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast
realm in which they rest is the Archive. Da first brought Mackenzie
Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old,
frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da 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.
Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous-it's a constant reminder of
those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but now that her
little brother is gone too, Mac starts to wonder about the boundary
between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the
dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately
altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can
piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and
fall.
In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals
the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and
deceit, unbearable loss and hardwon redemption.
