A Conjuring of Light is enemies to allies, dark magic & morally grey — mild (2/5), multi-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.
With an ancient evil called Osaron escaped from the long-dead Black London and now consuming Red London from within, the last Antari magician Kell and the reckless thief-turned-Antari Lila Bard must forge an impossible alliance — including with their former enemy Holland — to stop a god-like force that can possess anyone it touches. As the Maresh empire teeters on collapse and Rhy fights to survive, old loyalties fracture and every victory comes at a steep personal cost.
