A friendly first-year exhibition match should be simple.
Play hard. Learn something. Try not to embarrass yourself in front of the professors.
And eventually, someone wins.
Except this match refuses to end.
Inside Vellumgate University's Arcane Arena, the field begins changing its own conditions. The Aether Orb behaves as though it knows what the players want before they do. The rules keep shifting. Every apparent solution creates another problem.
And the more desperately everyone tries to win, the more dangerous the game becomes.
Now Alyse Merrison, Nimbus, Jinx, Flora, Glimmer, and the others must survive a magical competition that has stopped behaving like sport - and work out what the Arena is demanding before the next play becomes one play too many.
Fast, kinetic, funny, and packed with magical action, Wonder: The Match That Wouldn't End is a standalone fantasy sports thriller where teamwork may matter more than the final score.
No previous WONDER reading required.
