A Goodreads Best Fantasy Choice Award Nominee

The much-acclaimed viral sensation from Olivie Blake, The Atlas Six--now newly revised and edited with additional content--is the first in an explosive dark academia fantasy trilogy that reads like The Secret History meets The Umbrella Academy

Each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to earn a place in the Alexandrian Society, the foremost secret society in the world. The chosen will secure a life of power and prestige beyond their wildest dreams.

But at what cost?

Each of the six newest recruits has their reasons for accepting the Society's elusive invitation. Even if it means growing closer than they could have imagined to their most dangerous enemies-- or risking unforgivable betrayal from their most trusted allies-- they will fight tooth and nail for the right to join the ranks of the Alexandrians.

Even if it means they won't all survive the year.

Critics’ reviews

Praise for this book

"The Atlas Six introduces six of the most devious, talented, and flawed characters to ever find themselves in a magical library, and then sets them against one another in a series of stunning betrayals and reversals. As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic, this book is half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight." -- Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Night

"Lethally smart. Filled with a cast of brilliantly realized characters, each entangled with one another in torturously delicious ways, The Atlas Six will grip you by the throat and refuse to let go. Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent. " -- Chloe Gong, author of New York Times bestselling These Violent Delights

"Compelling, entertaining, and addictive. The Atlas Six is academic Darwinism: survival of the smartest with a healthy dose of magic." -- T.L. Huchu, author of The Library of The Dead

"For die-hard lovers of dark academia." -- Publishers Weekly

" This chilling story of ambition and magic will make you question your own morals as you grow to love (and hate) its fascinating, ruthless cast of characters. I utterly devoured this book." -- Amanda Foody, author of All of Us Villains
