Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the Sunday Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate.
The one thing you never talk about while you''re in the Scholomance is what you''ll do when you get out - not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way.
But that impossible dream has somehow come true for El and her classmates. And what''s more, she didn''t even have to become the monstrous dark witch she''s prophesised to become to make it happen. Instead of killing enclavers, she saved them, and now the world is safe for all wizards. Peace and harmony have enveloped all the enclaves of the world.
Just kidding.
Instead, someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in El''s stead, and everyone she saved is at risk again with a full-scale enclave war on the horizon. And so, the first thing El needs to do after miraculously escaping the Scholomance, is to turn straight around and find a way back in.

Times Bestselling Author At Zalindov, the only person you can trust
is yourself. Seventeen-year-old Kiva Meridan is a survivor. For ten
years, she has worked as the healer in the notorious death prison,
Zalindov, making herself indispensable. Kept afloat by messages of
hope from her family, Kiva has one goal and one goal only: stay
alive. Then one day the infamous Rebel Queen arrives at the prison
on death's door and Kiva receives a new message: Don't let her die.
We are coming. The queen is sentenced to the Trial by Ordeal: a
series of elemental challenges against the torments of air, fire,
water, and earth, assigned to only the most dangerous of criminals.
Aware the sickly queen has little chance of making it through the
Trials alive, Kiva volunteers to take her place. If she succeeds,
both she and the queen will be granted their freedom. But no one
has ever survived. And with an incurable plague sweeping Zalindov,
a mysterious new inmate fighting for Kiva's heart, and a prison
rebellion brewing, Kiva can't escape the terrible feeling that her
trials have only just begun. From bestselling Australian author
Lynette Noni comes a masterful and action-packed YA fantasy perfect
for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Sabaa Tahir.
The weakest of the weak, E-class hunter Jinwoo Sung has no money,
no talent, and no prospects to speak of. And when he enters a
hidden dungeon that fateful day, he ends up being left to die in
the aftermath of a horrendous tragedy. At death's door, Jinwoo is
suddenly invited to be a "player" by a mysterious voice. Desperate
to live, Jinwoo jumps at the chance...but what is this strange new
leveling system that only he can see?

Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life,

End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and
a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to
whisk him away on an unexpected journey 'there and back again'.
They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the

The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit has sold many millions of copies

Lee Mandelo's debut Summer Sons is a sweltering, queer Southern
Gothic that crosses Appalachian street racing with academic
intrigue, all haunted by a hungry ghost. Andrew and Eddie did
everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers,
until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at
Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join
him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves
Andrew a horrible inheritance: a roommate he doesn't know, friends
he never asked for, and a gruesome phantom that hungers for him. As
Andrew searches for the truth of Eddie's death, he uncovers the
lies and secrets left behind by the person he trusted most,
discovering a family history soaked in blood and death. Whirling
between the backstabbing academic world where Eddie spent his days
and the circle of hot boys, fast cars, and hard drugs that ruled
Eddie's nights, the walls Andrew has built against the world begin
to crumble. And there is something awful lurking, waiting for those
walls to fall.
