In the beginning of a captivating new series, the bestselling author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver presents a unique school for the magically gifted, where failure leads to death—until one girl starts to uncover its secrets. This school of magic is unlike any other: devoid of teachers, holidays, or genuine friendships, survival is paramount, as students cannot leave until they graduate or perish. The rules are simple: never walk the halls alone and beware of lurking monsters. El is particularly equipped for the school's perils. Although she has no allies, her dark power is formidable enough to cause massive destruction. While she could easily vanquish the monsters, using her magic risks harming her fellow students, so she refrains—at least until absolutely necessary. Meanwhile, Orion Lake, a fellow student, effortlessly plays the hero, saving lives with his flashy combat magic, including El's. After he rescues her again, making her feel more isolated, El impulsively decides that Orion must die. As events unfold, El will discover vital lessons about the school, Orion, and her true self. Wry, witty, and inventive, this enchanting tale explores themes beyond mere survival.
