Victoria Schwabová strana 3 z 3

Třetí díl fantasy o paralelních Londýnech. Osud našich oblíbených hrdinů pohybujících se v paralelních Londýnech se konečně naplňuje. Kdo klesne a kdo povstane? Křehká rovnováha mezi barevnými Londýny je nebezpečně narušena a hrozí tu vznik Londýna nového, který ostatní města uvrhne do zkázy. Záleží na Kellovi, jestli si dokáže udržet své magické schopnosti, a samozřejmě i na Lile Bardové, která se sice také ledacos naučila, ale její divoká magie není nebezpečná jen pro ostatní, ale i pro ni samotnou. Únikové manévry, magické bitvy a smysluplná oběť z knihy dělají vzrušující čtení. Kirkus Reviews

Štyri farby mágie, jej odvrátená tvár a hrdinovia, ktorí si svojou nedokonalosťou okamžite získajú vaše srdcia - to všetko vás čaká vo fantasy sérii od autorky bestsellerov Neviditeľný život Addie LaRueovej a Gallant! Kell patrí k posledným Antariom – mágom so vzácnou a vyhľadávanou schopnosťou cestovať medzi paralelnými Londýnmi: Červeným, Sivým, Bielym a kedysi dávno aj Čiernym. Oficiálne je Kell veľvyslancom ríše Arnes – Červeného Londýna –, kde vyrastal ako člen kráľovskej rodiny Mareshovcov, cestujúcim medzi Bielym Londýnom, v ktorom si panovníci vždy uzurpujú trón krvavou cestou, a dvorom kráľa Juraja III. v najnudnejšom, Sivom Londýne, kde už mágia neexistuje. Neoficiálne je pašerákom, keďže ľudia sú ochotní zaplatiť aj za kradmý pohľad na svet, kam sa nikdy nedostanú. Nebezpečný koníček má však ďalekosiahle následky a Kell ich pocíti na vlastnej koži. Po nevydarenej akcii unikne do Sivého Londýna, kde sa zoznámi s Delilah Bardovou, vreckárkou s vysokými ambíciami. Lila ho najprv okradne, potom zachráni pred úhlavným nepriateľom a napokon ho prinúti prepašovať ju do iného sveta, aby zažila skutočné dobrodružstvo. Nebezpečná mágia im je však v pätách a na každom kroku číha zrada. Ak chcú zachrániť všetky svety, budú musieť najprv ostať nažive.
