NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The specter of graduation looms large as
Naomi Novik's groundbreaking, New York Times bestselling trilogy
continues in the stunning sequel to A Deadly Education.
"The climactic graduation-day battle will bring cheers, tears, and
gasps as the second of the Scholomance trilogy closes with a
breathtaking cliff-hanger."--Booklist (starred review)

In Wisdom, Shelter. That's the official motto of the Scholomance. I
suppose you could even argue that it's true--only the wisdom is hard to
come by, so the shelter's rather scant.
Our beloved school does its best to devour all its students--but now
that I've reached my senior year and have actually won myself a handful
of allies, it's suddenly developed a very particular craving for me. And
even if I somehow make it through the endless waves of maleficaria that
it keeps throwing at me in between grueling homework assignments, I
haven't any idea how my allies and I are going to make it through the
graduation hall alive.
Unless, of course, I finally accept my foretold destiny of dark sorcery
and destruction. That would certainly let me sail straight out of here.
The course of wisdom, surely.
But I'm not giving in--not to the mals, not to fate, and especially not
to the Scholomance. I'm going to get myself and my friends out of this
hideous place for good--even if it's the last thing I do.
With keen insight and mordant humor, Novik reminds us that sometimes
it is not enough to rewrite the rules--sometimes, you need to toss out
the entire rulebook.
The magic of the Scholomance trilogy continues in The Golden
Enclaves
