Praise for H. G. Parry: " The Magician's Daughter is that most rare and precious thing: a brand-new classic, both wholly original and wonderfully nostalgic. It's an absolute treasure." -- Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January "Brilliantly imagined. I love the way Parry blends mythic elements with wit and heart. A fast pace, period detail and an intriguing cast of real, flawed people make The Magician's Daughter a book to be absolutely devoured."-- Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong " The Magician's Daughter is innovative fairy tale and deftly researched historical fiction in one, full of captivating magic and richly drawn characters. HG Parry crafts an evocative world rife with a struggle for equity, justice, and the occasional miracle that readers won't be able to forget."-- Rowenna Miller, author of The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill "Parry has written another winning fantasy novel full of adventure, found family, and magic. This is a fully realized world that feels like a homage to the classic fantasy tales of Diana Wynne Jones...For readers who love a great fantasy adventure."-- Booklist "A charming romp of an old-school coming of age fantasy about family and magic that will take your heart for a wild ride."-- NPR, " The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door is thoughtfully written and thoroughly enthralling. H.G. Parry illuminates the pleasures and perils of knowledge--and friendship--in a voice that is exquisite and empathetic to the very end." -- Sylvie Cathrall, author of A Letter to the Luminous Deep, "Bewitching! An irresistible blend of history, fairy lore and magic set in England during the aftermath of the Great War, with hints of magic glimmering with every turn of the page. Power and privilege, love and loyalty, ambition and friendship--I was completely absorbed."-- Kell Woods, author of After the Forest, "Like the best fantasy novels, The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door serves as a mirror to our own world and the problems within it: the broken world left after a devastating pandemic and how hard it is to make systemic changes in an inherently corrupt system. This intelligent, vivid novel belongs in all library fantasy collections. Highly recommended."-- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
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
