Magisterium: The Copper Gauntlet [Paperback] Black, Holly

**Magisterium: The Copper Gauntlet by Holly Black - Because Magic School Just Got Darker**

Call refuses to believe he's destined for evil, but when you're supposedly the reincarnation of a chaos-ridden mage who nearly destroyed the world, optimism becomes tricky. This second installment in Holly Black's Magisterium series cranks up the magical mayhem as Call navigates friendship, identity, and some seriously questionable prophecies at the underground Magisterium school.

Perfect for 8-14 year olds who've outgrown wimpy wizards and crave something with actual stakes. Black (co-author of The Spiderwick Chronicles) serves up a deliciously dark fantasy that tackles themes of destiny versus choice, loyalty, and what happens when you might be the villain of your own story.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks has plenty of adventure left in its pages - ideal for young readers ready for morally complex characters and magic that bites back.

**Reader Reviews:**
