Your Bitchy Older Sister

the setting is: 

an alternate “red” london set in the 1800′s full of magic 

our london set in the 1800′s with no magic

a dangerous white london set in the 1800′s FULL of magic

the protagonists are: 

kell: one of two antari (magicians who can travel between the three londons) and a smuggler. he’s also chronically grumpy. from red london

lila bard: a true neutral thief from grey london who is terrified of commitment and the first thing she does when coming in contact with magic is make a stripper version of kell. actual pirate and probably trans (not canon though)

rhy maresh: the prince of red london and also a canonically bisexual poc. charming and laid-back. he is flirting with you. 

the villains are: 

athos and astrid dane: twin rulers of white london; blood thirsty and power hungry. 

holland: the other antari. angry and cold; probably because he’s working for the twins 

the problem is: 

a piece of a dead london that kell smuggled. everyone wants it and no one should have it. 

things to look forward to: 

stripper kell

ass-kicking ladies

great worldbuilding for all of the londons

amoral characters 

interesting relationships and power dynamics 

no heavy handed romance but shipping fodder all over the place 

ALUCARD EMERY: not in it til the next book but a charming canonically bisexual poc and a pirate privateer

a tv show (sometime in the future) with direct input from the author!! 

well you see there’s
