“A Darker Shade of Magic” Rights Acquired

by Sharon Browning

After “sitting on the news for over six months”, author Victoria Schwab excitedly announced on Facebook on Tuesday that the rights to her critically acclaimed fantasy novel A Darker Shade of Magic have been picked up by G-BASE, an entertainment development company partially owned by actor Gerard Butler.  “And I am writing the pilot!!!!!” she further enthused.

This is truly exciting news, for A Darker Shade of Magic is a delightfully imaginative tale that boasts not one, but FOUR different Londons, each with a varying affinity for magic. It’s a story that should translate well to the small screen.  The current plans are for a limited television series.

Ms. Schwab (who also writes as V. E. Schwab) is also the author of the well received magical realism novel Vicious, as well as a half dozen other titles.  The second book in the “Darker Shade of Magic” world, A Gathering of Shadows, is set to be released later this month.
