This is a book to treasure. -Deborah Harkness New York Times bestselling author of the All
Souls trilogy Kell is one of the last Antari-magicians with a rare coveted ability to travel
between parallel Londons Red Grey White and once upon a time Black. Kell was raised in
Arnes-Red London-and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador traveling between
the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest
of Londons the one without any magic left to see. Unofficially Kell is a smuggler servicing
people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see. It's a
defiant hobby with dangerous consequences which Kell is now seeing firsthand. After an
exchange goes awry Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard a cut-purse with
lofty aspirations. She first robs him then saves him from a deadly enemy and finally forces
Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure. Now perilous magic is afoot and
treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds they'll first need to stay alive.
