Golden enclaves

She hoped to outsmart fate, but prophecies don't lie. The grand finale of the thrilling fantasy bestseller "Deadly Education"! Everything was planned: to kill the monster, get all the students out of the school, and send Scholomance into oblivion. That's all. For El, the girl who was once prophesied to be the world's destroyer, even this didn't seem like too crazy of an idea. But everything was ruined by Orion Lake. Again. Refusing to leave Scholomance, he left El no choice: she would have to go back and save him. However, besides Orion, she has other problems: a mysterious maleficer is trying to destroy magical enclaves around the world. Who is he? What does he want? And what does Orion have to do with it again?! A story that doesn't let go even after reading. Heroes with strong characters, a dizzying plot, love, magic, and a world on the brink of destruction. Naomi Novik is a finalist for prestigious literary awards Locus and Hugo. Golden cover and striking endpapers.
