In the New York Times bestselling sequel to Soman Chainani's debut, The School for Good and Evil, Sophie and Agatha are back in Gavaldon, living out their Happily Ever After, but life isn't quite the fairy tale they expected.

Witches and princesses reside at the School for Girls, where they've been inspired to live a life without princes, while Tedros and the boys are camping in Evil's old towers. A war is brewing between the schools, but can Agatha and Sophie restore the peace? Can Sophie stay good with Tedros on the hunt? And whose heart does Agatha's belong to—her best friend or her prince?

Soman Chainani has created a spectacular world that Newbery Medal-winning author Ann M. Martin calls "a fairy tale like no other, complete with romance, magic, humor, and a riddle that will keep you turning pages until the end."

Don't miss the thrilling conclusion to the beloved series, The School for Good and Evil #6: One True King!


  • Friendship vs. Romance: Agatha won her happy ending with Sophie, but a secret wish for her prince, Tedros, has thrown their fairy tale into chaos. Now she must choose a side in a war she started.
  • Girls vs. Boys: The School for Good and Evil has fractured. Princesses and witches have united in a School for Girls, while the princes have been exiled to form their own School for Boys—with Tedros as their vengeful leader.
  • A Fairy Tale Retelling with a Twist: What happens after Happily Ever After? For Sophie and Agatha, it means facing down assassins, warring schools, and the devastating consequences of a single wish.
  • Magic, Action, and Adventure: Packed with epic battles and the series' signature wit, this action-packed sequel will keep you turning the pages as the ultimate war between boys and girls begins.
