“A Darker Shade of Magic has all the hallmarks of a classic work of fantasy… a gem of a tale. 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 the rare ability to travel between parallel Londons: Red, Grey, White, and once, Black.

Raised in Red London, Kell serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, journeying between the bloody regime changes of White London and the dull courts of George III’s Grey London — where magic is all but forgotten.

Unofficially, he’s a smuggler, trading in curiosities from other worlds for those who can pay. But when a deal goes wrong, Kell’s defiance brings deadly consequences.

Escaping to Grey London, he crosses paths with Delilah Bard, a thief who first robs him, then saves him, and finally demands passage to another world for the adventure of a lifetime.

Now perilous magic is afoot, treachery waits at every turn, and to save all the worlds, they’ll first have to survive each other.
