“The Scholomance is the dark school of magic I’ve been waiting for, and its wise, witty, and monstrous heroine is one I’d happily follow anywhere-even into a school full of monsters.” -Katherine Arden, New York Times bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale Novik is, quite simply, a genius.” -Kiersten White, New York Naomi Novik deliciously undoes expectations about magic schools, destined heroes, and family legacies.” -Holly Black, #1 New York Times bestselling author “A gorgeous book about monsters and monstrousness, chockablock with action, cleverness, and wit. And the first thing I’ve got to do now, having miraculously gotten out of the Scholomance, is turn straight around and find a way back in. Someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in my stead, and probably everyone we saved is about to get killed in the brewing enclave war. Ha, only joking! Actually, it’s gone all wrong.
Our graduation plan worked to perfection: We saved everyone and made the world safe for all wizards and brought peace and harmony to all the enclaves everywhere. So much for my great-grandmother’s prophecy of doom and destruction. I’m out, we’re all out-and I didn’t even have to turn into a monstrous dark witch to make it happen. But it’s all we dream about: the hideously slim chance we’ll survive to make it out the gates and improbably find ourselves with a life ahead of us, a life outside the Scholomance halls.Īnd now the impossible dream has come true. Not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. The one thing you never talk about while you’re in the Scholomance is what you’ll do when you get out. Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate.
