Quests for Glory

Quests for Glory is the fourth book in The School for Good and Evil series and marks the beginning of the Camelot Years trilogy. Students in their fourth year at the School for Good and Evil must complete graduation quests, with main characters Tedros and Agatha assigned to restore Camelot while Sophie takes on the role of Dean of Evil. When a series of attacks threatens the Endless Woods and Tedros cannot claim Excalibur, the students receive a new mission to investigate these mysterious events. The group - including Sophie, Agatha, and their companions - embarks on a journey across the realm while the Storian begins writing an unexpected new tale. The story interweaves elements from Arthurian legend with the established School for Good and Evil universe, introducing new characters and expanding the magical world. Ancient prophecies, hidden identities, and the battle between good and evil drive the narrative forward. This installment explores themes of leadership, destiny, and the complexity of heroism, while questioning traditional fairy tale roles and expectations. The book continues the series' examination of friendship and power dynamics in a world where the line between good and evil grows increasingly complex.
