Books like Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend
Morrigan Crow was born on Eventide, the day that marks the misfortunes of all children, and the curse that follows her foretells her death at midnight on her eleventh birthday. When a mysterious man named Jupiter North appears to rescue her from black‑smoke hounds and shadowy hunters, he brings Morrigan to the secret, enchanting city of Nevermoor. In this world of magic, she learns that Jupiter has chosen her to compete for membership in the city’s most prestigious organization, the Wundrous Society. To secure a place— and a chance to live beyond the night—Morrigan must undertake four difficult and dangerous trials against other talented children. With no talent of her own, she must find a way to succeed or risk leaving Nevermoor to confront her deadly destiny.
