Description

<p><b>Naomi Novik's Scholomance series meets <i>Plain Bad Heroines</i> in this sapphic dark academia fantasy by instant national and international bestselling author Emily Tesh, winner of the Hugo and World Fantasy Awards.<br></b><br><i>"Look at you, eating magic like you're one of us."</i><br><br>Doctor Walden is the Director of Magic at Chetwood School and one of the most powerful magicians in England. Her days consist of meetings, teaching A-Level Invocation to four talented, chaotic sixth formers, more meetings, and securing the school's boundaries from demonic incursions.<br><br>Walden is good at her job—no, Walden is <i>great</i> at her job. But demons are masters of manipulation. It’s her responsibility to keep her school with its six hundred students and centuries-old legacy safe. And it’s possible the entity Walden most needs to keep her school safe from—is herself.</p>
