It's a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand. n nAfter 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. n nNow perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they'll first need to stay alive.
