"Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One ever chosen. That's what his roommate, Baz, says. Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right. Half the time, Simon can't make his wand work; the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor avoids him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there's a magic-eating monster running around wearing Simon's face. Baz would have a field day with all this, if he were here. It's their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and he didn't even bother to show up"--Back cover.
