The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door [electronic resource]. H. G Parry.

Parry, H. G. (Author).

Summary:

From the author of  The Magician's Daughter  comes  The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door,  a mythic, magical tale full of secret scholarship, faerie curses, and the deadliest spells of all—the ones that friends cast on each other.  All they needed to break the world was a door, and someone to open it.     Camford, 1920.  Gilded and glittering, England's secret magical academy is no place for Clover, a commoner with neither connections nor magical blood. She's there only to find a cure for her brother Matthew, one of the few survivors of a deadly faerie attack on the battlefields of WWI.  When Clover catches the eye of golden boy Alden Lennox-Fontaine and his friends, doors that were previously closed to her are flung wide open, and she soon finds herself enmeshed in the seductive world of the country's magical aristocrats. But the summer she spends in Alden’s orbit leaves a fateful mark: months of joyous friendship and mutual study come crashing down when experiments go awry, and old secrets are unearthed. The consequences will only be truly understood many years later, when it's too late... "Part historical fantasy, part campus novel, and entirely magical. An unputdownable, bittersweet tale."  —Allison Saft “By turns wondrous, haunting, and mysterious. Historical fantasy at its finest."  —Olivia Atwater "A brilliant story of magic and scholarship and ambition. A marvelous, thought-provoking, captivating novel."  —Kat Howard
