Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One ever—just ask his vampire roommate and sworn nemesis, Baz. Not that Baz is around to say it; he hasn’t even bothered showing up for their final year at Watford School of Magicks.
Simon can’t get his wand to cooperate, accidentally sets things on fire, and his mentor’s ghosting him. Oh, and there’s a magic-eating monster on the loose… wearing Simon’s face.
Between the mysterious creature, a broken heart, and a missing nemesis, Simon’s last year is shaping up to be a disaster. But when Baz finally turns up, secrets unravel, alliances shift, and Simon’s biggest problem might not be the monster, it might be how he feels about Baz.
Because sometimes the real magic is the trouble you didn’t see coming.
