I only recently heard about this author for the first time on a writing podcast by Tim Clare  (whose book The Ice House I’ve reviewed and bought a copy of  and The Honours), the interview was interesting and V.E.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

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.
