Books like A Conjuring of Light by V. E. Schwab
In "A Conjuring of Light," the fragile balance among the four Londons teeters as magic wanes and the Maresh Empire falls into darkness, creating a power vacuum for another London to rise. The story follows characters already introduced in the series—such as Kell, Lila Bard, and Captain Alucard Emery—who face shifting loyalties, renewed danger, and emerging threats as an ancient enemy seeks a crown and a fallen hero attempts to save a world in decay. The novel continues the epic fantasy saga that began with "A Darker Shade of Magic."
