Yesterday, USA Today revealed the cover and an excerpt of The Iron Trial – the first book in a new fantasy series for middle-grade readers co-written by bestselling authors Holly Black and Cassandra Clare hitting stores on September 9!
The series centers on the students of the Magisterium, an academy for those with a propensity toward magic. In this first book, 12-year-old Callum Hunt comes to the Magisterium against his will―is it because he is destined to be a powerful magician, or is the truth more twisted than that? It's a journey that will thrill you, surprise you, and make you wonder about the clear-cut distinction usually made between good and evil.
You can read the prologue and first chapter of The Iron Trial on USA Today, along with a special note from authors Holly Black and Cassie Clare. We can’t wait to read the rest September 9!
