In the heart of Southwest London, just a short stroll from the Thames, lies a single row of cottages.

Das Rote London steht im Bann des großen Spiels der Elemente, in dem Magier aus aller Welt ihre Kräfte messen. Dass der Antari Kell antritt, ist Ehrensache. Aber auch andere illustre Gäste geben sich die Ehre, etwa der berüchtigte Pirat Alucard Emery - und natürlich die Diebin Lila Bard. Zu dumm, dass in all dem Trubel niemand merkt, dass im schwarzen London etwas Urböses aus tiefem Schlaf erwacht.

Kell est le dernier des magiciens de sang, des sorciers capables de voyager d'un monde à l'autre. Des mondes, il y en a quatre, dont Londres est, à chaque fois, le cœur et l'âme. Le nôtre est gris, sans magie d'aucune sorte. Celui de Kell, rouge—on y respire le merveilleux à chaque bouffée d'air. Le troisième est blanc : là, les sortilèges se font si rares qu'on s'y tranche la gorge pour une simple incantation. Le dernier est noir, noir comme la mort qui l'a envahi quand la magie a dévoré tout ce qui s'y trouvait, obligeant les trois autres à couper tout lien avec lui.
