The Dream Thieves is forbidden love, dark magic & morally grey — sweet (1/5), 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.
Ronan Lynch — the most volatile of Gansey's raven boys — harbours a secret: he can pull objects from his dreams into the waking world, a power inherited from his murdered father. As sinister forces converge on Henrietta searching for the Graywaren, Ronan's ability spirals dangerously out of control while his dream-rival Kavinsky pushes him toward self-destruction. Meanwhile Blue and Gansey's forbidden attraction deepens, restrained always by the curse that promises one of them will die.
