Pretty specific, but these books are always so fun to me!
A book where the main character has something that either the antagonist (preferred) or another MC needs. As in knowledge, an ability, or access to something no one else has access to. These always make really fun hunting/hiding stories, or even working together with compromises!
I’d rather it not be a romance, but I’ll accept anything- I read Uses of Illicit Arts and it was a fun read!
Other examples: Deathly Hallows, The Thief, Alex Verus, Locke Lamora
Bonus points for a magic system!
