De fleste drømmer om at bestå jernprøven og få adgang til Magisterium. Ikke Callum Hunt. Han ønsker brændende at dumpe. Hele sit liv har hans far fortalt ham skrækindjagende historier om fristelserne og farerne ved magi. Og Callum er sikker på, at hvis han består prøven, vil det være ude med ham.Så han gør sit værste. Og består med bravour.Da han endelig ankommer til Magisterium, er det ikke ligefrem den dødsfælde, han forventede. Han skal oven i købet studere under den legendariske mester Rufus sammen med de to jævnaldrende Aaron og Tamara. Nu begynder en rejse, der fører dem ind i en hidtil skjult verden. Hurtigt afsløres det, hvor lidt Callum kender til sin egen og familiens fortid – og hvor meget, der er på spil for ham i fremtiden …"Jernprøven" er første del af fembindsserien "Magisterium".“Nervepirrende fortælling, der både er klassisk fantasy, men som alligevel konstant overrasker. Magisterium-skolen er lyslevende beskrevet, og enrække ildevarslende afsløringer vil få læserne til at længes efter næste bog. Fans af både Cassandra Clare og Holly Black vil elske dette nye eventyr.”– Publishers Weekly"De sidste 50 sider og slutningen efterlod mig derimod med en tabt kæbe og øjne der nærmest var ved at rulle ud af hovedet på mig, fordi jeg kørte dem over siderne så hurtigt jeg kunne.
