| A Conjuring of Light: A Novel by V.E. SchwabFantasy. In this conclusion to the trilogy that began with A Darker Shade of Magic, the conclusion of the Essen Tasch -- or "Element Games," a multidimensional tournament of magic -- only serves to exacerbate long-standing conflicts that embroil the four versions of London: Red, White, Grey, and Black. To say much more risks revealing spoilers, but fans of the series can look forward to the return of Antari magician Kell as well as street thief and erstwhile pirate Delilah Bard. |

Rephaite allies known as the Ranthen have pledged their support, but can Paige afford to place her trust in supernatural beings that view clairvoyants as prey?
