"Looking for something else?"
This article is about the first book in the series. You may be looking for the test taken to get into the Magisterium.
Most kids would do anything to pass the Iron Trial.
Not Callum Hunt. He wants to fail.
All his life, Call has been warned by his father to stay away from magic, and told his whole life that he should never trust a magician. If he succeeds at the Iron Trial and is admitted into the Magisterium, he is sure it can only mean bad things for him. So he tries his best to do his worst-– and fails at failing.
Now the Magisterium awaits him. It's a place that's both sensational and sinister, with dark ties to his past and a twisty path to his future.
The Iron Trial is just the beginning, for the biggest test is still to come...
Call is about to break all the rules. And when he does, his life will change in ways he can't possibly imagine.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
The war against the Enemy of Death, known as the Third Mage War, began at least a decade ago. When the Enemy does not show up on the field of the Great Battle to face the mages' champion, Verity Torres, Alastair Hunt realizes that his family may be in danger. Alastair immediately goes to La Rinconada, where his and other mages's family members were being kept as a protective measure for the war, though it was already too late. Everyone in the cave—both mages and some of the infiltrating Chaos-ridden—is dead, except his son, Callum Hunt, albeit with a broken leg. He later finds his wife Sarah Hunt and her brother Declan, who had died protecting Call. While Alastair initially promises to raise Callum knowing his mother's bravery, this changes when he sees the message his wife carved into the ice with her knife, Semiramis, as she died: "KILL THE CHILD." Sarah was evidently referring to Call, much to Alastair's horror.
Twelve years after the La Rinconada incident, which was dubbed the Cold Massacre, Alastair and Call now live in Asheville, North Carolina, where Call has become notorious as a troublesome and sarcastic boy. During this time, Alastair raised and taught Call to fear magic and be distrustful of mages. Call often has nightmares of getting lost in the underground tunnels of the Magisterium.
Now twelve years old, Call is set to undergo the Iron Trial, which he was prepared to and conditioned by Alastair to fail, not wanting him to go to the Magisterium, as attendance is mandatory if one passes the test. At school, Call sees Kylie Myles and when she acknowledges him for the first time, Call immediately suspects that she is also on the way to the Iron Trial and contemplates warning her before they depart. However, her parents arrive and pick her up before he could even approach her.
During the drive to Virginia with his father for the test, Call begins having second thoughts. They then arrive at a closed airfield, the venue for the Iron Trial, attended by over a hundred families with the prospective mage child, not all of whom know of the test's true nature or why they are there, and the mages themselves.
The aspirants are then divided into groups. During the test, Call distances himself from the other aspirants, not interested in making friends as he fully intends to fail. The first test is a written exam with strange questions, overseen by Master Milagros. Call is unable to even begin, since the pen he is holding blows up as he tries to get it to work, highlighting his uncontrolled but tremendous power. While Call thinks he failed, he is, in fact, given full points for it. The next two tests are supervised by Master Rockmaple; the second task involves climbing an enchanted rope ladder and reaching the big red ball hanging from the ceiling. Only Aaron Stewart, one who seems carefree enough and is trying to befriend Call, is able to finish it. Call, the last to be called, then makes the ball burst in frustration. For the third test, they are told to make a piece of paper levitate in the air. Remembering his father's advice, Call thinks of doing the very opposite of what they want him to—instead of making it float, he thinks very hard of making something pin the piece of paper down, like an imaginary hand. Because of this, when Master Rockmaple finally lets those unable to do it stop trying, they can no longer remove the paper from the desk. For this, Call gets negative scores (apparently a first in the history of Iron Trials) and thus gets ten points deducted from his already low score.
•The cover art depicts Call, Aaron, and Tamara, as well as the Enemy of Death.
•The cover was illustrated by Alexandre Chaudret, and some of the design elements were done by Jim Tierney.
•The book features interior illustrations per chapter done by Scott Fischer.
•According to Holly Black, we can assume The Iron Trial takes place in 2014, the year it was published, though she and Cassandra Clare confirmed it was intentionally vague and truly takes place "now-ish". If this timeline is accepted, the series takes place between the years 2014-2018/2019.
