With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates a school bursting with magic like you've never seen before, and a heroine for the ages-a character so sharply realized and so richly nuanced that she will live on in hearts and minds for generations to come. Although I'm giving serious consideration to just one. I may not be anyone's idea of the shining hero, but I'm going to make it out of this place alive, and I'm not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either. But the Scholomance isn't getting what it wants from me. Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me like one more evil thing that's crawled out of the drains. Just give me a chance and I'll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I'm probably the most dangerous thing in the place. I don't need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. I'm not joining his pack of adoring fans. Far as I'm concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. FINALIST FOR THE LODESTAR AWARD * "The dark school of magic I've been waiting for."-Katherine Arden, author of the Winternight Trilogy I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver comes the first book of the Scholomance trilogy, the story of an unwilling dark sorceress who is destined to rewrite the rules of magic.
