A Darker Shade Of Magic by V. E. Schwab
In this fantasy novel, we follow the story of a rare magician with the ability to travel between parallel Londons—Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black. Each London has a different level of magic, and the balance of power is precarious. The protagonist serves as a messenger and smuggler between the Londons, adhering to a strict set of rules to keep these worlds separate. However, when an unexpected encounter leads to the discovery of a dangerous artifact from the forbidden Black London, the magician must navigate treacherous political waters and dark magic, with the help of an adventurous thief, to prevent catastrophic destruction.
