From the New York Times bestselling author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver comes the story of an unwilling dark sorceress who is destined to rewrite the rules of magic.
With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates 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.
And neither is Orion Lake.
But the Scholomance isn\'t getting what it wants from me.
The school itself certainly does.
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.
At least, that\'s what the world expects me to do.
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.
Everyone else, that is.
Everyone loves Orion Lake.
I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.
