A Darker Shade of Magic : A Novel
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.

**Defensive Abilities** Ice magic also provides a range of defensive abilities. Practitioners can create ice shields or barriers to protect themselves or others from attacks. These barriers can be translucent or opaque, depending on the preference of the practitioner. Additionally, ice magic can also be used to create slippery surfaces or icy traps to immobilize or deter enemies. **Environmental Manipulation** One of the unique aspects of ice magic is its ability to manipulate and control the environment. Practitioners can lower temperatures, create ice or snow, or freeze bodies of water. This can be useful in various situations, such as creating obstacles, altering terrain, or creating a freezing atmosphere that lowers the body temperature of enemies. **Augmentation and Empowerment** Ice magic can also be used to augment or empower other abilities. For example, practitioners can imbue their weapons with ice magic to make them more potent or add a freezing effect to their strikes. Ice magic can also be integrated with other forms of magic, such as water magic or elemental magic, to create even more powerful and versatile spells. **Limitations and Weaknesses** While ice magic has many advantages, it also has limitations and weaknesses. One of the main weaknesses is its susceptibility to heat and fire. High temperatures can melt or weaken ice, rendering ice magic less effective. Additionally, some ice magic spells require a source of water or moisture to work, making them less effective in arid or dry environments. In conclusion, ice magic is a formidable form of magic that allows practitioners to control and manipulate ice to unleash powerful attacks, provide defensive abilities, manipulate the environment, and augment other abilities. Despite its weaknesses, ice magic remains a popular and sought-after form of magic due to its versatility and potential for both offensive and defensive capabilities..
