I envisioned a set of three interconnecting books, each with its own protagonist-a tinkerer who can pull the threads of magic, a noble who has her birthright stolen, a con artist born with a lucky streak but no power-their lives intertwining against a backdrop where a prince has become king, a thief has become a pirate, and new dangers are beginning to threaten the three Londons. I knew I wanted to tell a new story, one that included the cast of Shades of Magic without focusing exclusively on them. ![]() Just enough to catch the lock, keep the door from closing all the way.īy the time I finished Shades of Magic, I’d started Threads of Power.
