The Hundred Halls is the flagship series in Thomas K. Carpenter’s largest fictional universe. Set in a modern world where magical education happens at competing institutions called halls, the series follows students navigating academic rivalries, dangerous spells, and threats that go well beyond the classroom. The first book, Trials of Magic, sets up a world where getting accepted is just the beginning of the trouble.

Six books carry the main storyline from Trials of Magic through Untamed Destiny, published between 2016 and 2022. The world Carpenter builds here has become the foundation for multiple spin-off series — Gamemakers Online, Order of Merlin, Stone Singers, The Crystal Halls, Reluctant Assassin, and Aura Healers Hall — each set in different corners of the same universe.
