NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ā€¢ 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.

FINALIST FOR THE LODESTAR AWARD ā€¢ ā€œThe dark school of magic Iā€™ve been waiting for.ā€ā€”Katherine Arden, author of the Winternight Trilogy

I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.

Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as Iā€™m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. Iā€™m not joining his pack of adoring fans.

I donā€™t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, Iā€™m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and Iā€™ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.

At least, thatā€™s what the world expects. Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me like one more evil thing thatā€™s crawled out of the drains. Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. The school certainly does.

But the Scholomance isnā€™t getting what it wants from me. And neither is Orion Lake. I may not be anyoneā€™s idea of the shining hero, but Iā€™m going to make it out of this place alive, and Iā€™m not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either.

Although Iā€™m giving serious consideration to just one.

With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates a school bursting with magic like youā€™ve never seen before, and a heroine for the agesā€”a character so sharply realized and so richly nuanced that she will live on in hearts and minds for generations to come.

The magic of the Scholomance trilogy continues in The Last Graduate and The Golden Enclaves

ā€œThe canā€™t-miss fantasy of fall 2020, a brutal coming-of-power story steeped in the aesthetics of dark academia. . . . A Deadly Education will cement Naomi Novikā€™s place as one of the greatest and most versatile fantasy writers of our time.ā€ā€”BookPage (starred review)

ā€œA must-read . . . Novik puts a refreshingly dark, adult spin on the magical boarding school. . . . Readers will delight in the push-and-pull of El and Orionā€™s relationship, the fantastically detailed world, the clever magic system, and the matter-of-fact diversity of the student body.ā€ā€”Publishers Weekly (starred review)
