About this series
A completed fantasy trilogy set across four parallel Londons — Red, Grey, White and, once, Black — each holding a different relationship to magic. Kell, one of the last Antari able to travel between them, serves Red London as an ambassador until a smuggled artefact and a Grey London thief named Delilah Bard pull him into a struggle over who controls magic itself.
