About this listen

From the imaginations of bestselling authors Holly Black and Cassandra Clare comes a heart-stopping plunge into the magical unknown.

Think you know magic?

Think again.

The Magisterium awaits . . .

Most people would do anything to get into the Magisterium and pass the Iron Trial.

Not Callum Hunt.

Call has been told his whole life that he should never trust a magician. And so he tries his best to do his worst – but fails at failing.

Now he must enter the Magisterium.
It's a place that's both sensational and sinister. And Call realizes it has dark ties to his past and a twisty path to his future.

The Iron Trial is just the beginning. Call’s biggest test is still to come . . .

Critic reviews

moves deftly into the gap left by Harry Potter . . . all the ingredients of a gripping tale for young teenagers
A thrilling coming-of-age story that embraces fantasy tropes while keeping readers guessing.
The Iron Trial is merely a setup and introduction, and promises to take subsequent instalments of the Magisterium series in a more complex and philosophical direction
This is an incredible book . . . once you've started reading, its hard to put the book down. It's awesome! It's full of suspense and I cannot wait for the next book in the series to be released!
The strange, subterranean Magisterium is vividly rendered, and a string of ominous revelations will leave readers eager for future installments. Fans of both authors will enjoy getting to know this well-rounded cast in the first steps of their adventure
The third-person narration, filtered through Callum’s delightfully insecure-and- overcompensating-with-snarky-bravado perspective, carries a tone that will likely have readers chortling in recognition. A promising beginning to a complex exploration of good and evil, as well as friendship’s loyalty
I definitely don't want to give anything away about the ending, but I have to give the authors credit for a really stunning climax which had me desperate to get my hands on the next in this 5-book series. I can't wait to find out where we go from here! (Jim Dean)

I've read many books from Cassandra Clare before so I knew I was in for a treat. The actor who reads it is very good too!

Loved it!

Book one of the Magisteruim Series called "The Iron Trial" by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare. I've already read this series on Kindle. I absolutely loved this series by two of my favourite authors. I only lowered the performance because the narrators mispronouncement of staligtites and staligmites really annoyed me but apart from that I loved rereading this series. Now for book two 📚📖📚😍❤️😍
