A Conjuring of Light

About this book

***Witness the fate of beloved heroes--and enemies.*** **THE BALANCE OF POWER HAS FINALLY TIPPED....** The precarious equilibrium among the four Londons has reached its breaking point. Once brimming with the red vivacity of magic, darkness casts a shadow over the Maresh Empire, leaving a space for another London to rise. **WHO WILL CRUMBLE?** Kell--once assumed to be the last surviving *Antari*--begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties. And in the wake of tragedy, can Arnes survive? **WHO WILL RISE?** Lila Bard, once a commonplace--but never common--thief, has survived and flourished through a series of magic trials. But now she must learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry. Meanwhile, the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery of the *Night Spire* collects his crew, attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible. **WHO WILL TAKE CONTROL?** And an ancient enemy returns to claim a crown while a fallen hero tries to save a world in decay. This description comes from the publisher. *A Conjuring of Light* is the third book in the Shades of Magic series, the first of which is *A Darker Shade of Magic*.
