El is a junior at the infamous Scholomance--a cutthroat school of magic with an obscenely high mortality rate. El's only goal is to make it out of the Scholomance alive, and to do so, she'll need to learn spells, build up power, and form alliances with her classmates. But how can she get anyone to trust her when she's brimming with a dark power that could slaughter millions?
