Description: The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The specter of graduation looms large as Naomi Noviks 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 Reads In Wisdom, Shelter. Thats the official motto of the Scholomance. I suppose you could even argue that its true—only the wisdom is hard to come by, so the shelters rather scant. Our beloved school does its best to devour all its students—but now that Ive reached my senior year and have actually won myself a handful of allies, its 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 havent 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 Im not giving in—not to the mals, not to fate, and especially not to the Scholomance. Im going to get myself and my friends out of this hideous place for good—even if its 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 FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Naomi Novik is the New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education, The Last Graduate, and The Golden Enclaves, the award-winning novels Uprooted and Spinning Silver, and the Temeraire series.

Review Praise for The Last Graduate"[The Last Graduate] rips along like a force of nature. In the abstract, this is a story about relying on others—but in the concrete, it is about how to survive when the odds are against you. As she did with [A Deadly Education], Novik changes the game again with the very last line."—Locus"Truly one of the best fantasy series out there right now, and its not close."—Culturess "[The Last Graduate] is as compulsive a read as [A Deadly Education]. As a warning, it ends on another killer cliffhanger."—BuzzFeed"Naomi Noviks Scholomance series, about kids at a preposterously deadly magical school, stands out in a ridiculously crowded field. Its sheer viciousness, its grim humor, and its complicated interpersonal politics are an immediate draw."—Polygon"Sardonic students, gruesome monsters, growing friendships, and a touch of romance create a highly readable story. Some questions remain to be answered in the trilogys last volume. The end of this installment ensures that book three cant come fast enough."—Library Journal (starred review)Praise for A Deadly Education"Eyeball-meltingly brilliant—Novik is, quite simply, a genius."—Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of And I Darken"Naomi Novik has written the wizard-school book that we all deserve! Constant peril, a fresh magic system, and a deeper discussion of how educational inequality currently functions than I ever expected to see in fantasy."—Hank Green, author of A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor"Novik skillfully combines sharp humor with layers of imagination to build a fantasy that delights on every level."—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series"The Scholomance is the dark school of magic Ive been waiting for."—Katherine Arden, New York Times bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale"A gorgeous book about monsters and monstrousness, chockablock with action, cleverness, and wit."—Holly Black, #1 New York Times bestselling author Review Quote Praise for A Deadly Education "The scholomance is the dark school of magic Ive been waiting for, and its wise, witty, and monstrous heroine is one Id happily follow anywhere--even into a school full of monsters." --Katherine Arden, New York Times bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale "Novik deliciously undoes expectations about magic schools, destined heroes, and family legacies. A gorgeous book about monsters and monstrousness, chockablock with action, cleverness, and wit." --#1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black "A 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 Orions relationship, the fantastically detailed world, the clever magic system, and the matter-of-fact diversity of the student body." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Excerpt from Book Chapter 1 Vipersac Keep far away from Orion Lake.
