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)WINNER OF THE LODESTAR AWARD ? HUGO AND LOCUS AWARD FINALIST ? ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Polygon, Thrillist, She ReadsIn 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
