The Deadly Fates

by Dhonielle Clayton

Overview

Return to the world of the Marvellers and Conjurors in the third book of the instant New York Times and #1 Indie Bestselling fantasy series. Year Three at the global magic school in the sky is back in session in The Deadly Fates.

When Ella, Brigit, and Jason return for their third year at the Arcanum Training Institute, they discover a dark plot brewing. Secrets and deception surround the magic school's founders, and the trio will stop at nothing to find out what really happened to the Institute's enigmatic Conjure architect.

With tensions between Conjure folks and Marvellers at a fever pitch, the trio must face the living and the dead to get the answers they need to protect their world.
