Shades of the City, Shades of the City

The second installment of the SHADES OF THE CITY Series, a queer urban sci-fi series perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab’s VICIOUS and Rainbow Rowell’s CARRY ON.

Welcome back to District City, a place haunted by a tragic past, ravaged by monsters, and run by rival factions divided by mysterious aura Colors.

In the aftermath of the events at the Blue Embassy, murderous Calen plots revenge and uses his dark power to further his influence. New trials bring Alan and Kazuki closer together as they continue their quest to unlock the secrets of the city. Mysterious newcomer, Tanith, might have all the answers... if they can figure out how to get rid of the voices in their head.

As relationships are torn apart, sacrifices must be made to gain the power to survive. In this city, the dead don’t stay dead, and dreams reveal fragments of long-lost truth.

The world may have ended once, but that doesn’t mean it can’t end again.
