The Magisterium series is a five-book middle-grade fantasy co-written by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black. Starting with The Iron Trial (2014), the series follows Callum Hunt through his years at the Magisterium, a school for young mages hidden underground. Each book is named after a metal: The Iron Trial, The Copper Gauntlet, The Bronze Key, The Silver Mask, and The Golden Tower.

The series stands apart from Clare’s Shadowhunter work, targeting a younger audience and building an entirely separate magical world. The collaboration with Holly Black brings a different energy to the storytelling, and the metal-themed progression suggests Cal’s growing power and the increasing stakes of each year at the school.
