  His dead father: a legend. His father-figure: an icon. 
  Sinister truths are buried within the powers that raised Bryson. And as these secrets begin to shake his faith in those great men, disaster shakes the world around him. Several of Kuki Sphaira's ten kingdoms are in shambles from mass bloodshed, royal assassinations, and rekindled ancient wars. And it will take more than political, military, or even magical power to solve such problems. 
  The Jestivan--a band of ten elite students, including Bryson--become the unlikely heroes when one of their own goes missing. Now they must infiltrate foreign lands and track down kings, bringing them face-to-face with secrets better left unknown. 
  Most drown in their demons. Some try to escape. The Jestivan are the rare few who will do anything just to find them ... And they are the ones who learn the highest rule of power: 
  To build trust, one must lie.

There's Grey London, dirty and boring, without any magic, ruled by a mad King George. Then there's Red London, where life and magic are revered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire. There's White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne. And once upon a time, there was Black London . . . but no one speaks of that now.Officially, Kell is the Red Traveler, personal ambassador and adopted Prince of Red London, carrying the monthly correspondences between the royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see-a dangerous hobby, and one that has set him up for accidental treason. Fleeing into Grey London, Kell runs afoul of Delilah Bard, a cutpurse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a dangerous enemy, and then forces him to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure.

  "It's dark tonight I hope we aren't seen," a man said to his partner in crime. 
  "It's like the old days we climb in a window and pray not to get caught," said the thief who was known as the Chameleon to his partner the Cat as they stealthily walked through the garden of their mark. 
  "The room is the third window on the second story," said the Cat examining the building. The Chameleon tested the strength of a lattice leading to it going up the wall. 
  This should work I'm surprised people are so careless with security," the Chameleon said laughing. They climbed up the lattice trying not to be pricked by the thorns of the rose that climbed up it as well. 
  "The alarm is off or it should be, but I'll disable it," said the Chameleon. 
  He cut the alarm wire and jimmied the window till it opened. 
  They climbed in the room and looked about it. 
  "The safe is behind that painting," said the Chameleon pointing at the only picture in the room. 
  "Ok who will do the work you or me?" asked the Cat who was as skilled a cracksman as the Chameleon. 
  "It's my turn you did the last job," said the Chameleon who walked over to the picture removing it handing it to the Cat to put down. 
  The Chameleon put his ear to the safe and cracked the lock and opened the door removing the contents out of the safe putting it in a backpack on the Cat's back. 
  "Got it! Let's go." said the Chameleon. 
  These Thieves Are Dead! 
  How can the dead commit robbery?
