Enter a magic school unlike any you've ever known. There are no teachers or holidays, friendships are pure strategy, and the odds of survival are never the same. Once you're in, there are only two ways out: you graduate or you die. El Higgins is more prepared than anyone to face the many dangers of the school. She may have no allies, but she possesses a dark power mighty enough to move mountains and annihilate millions, not to mention she can easily destroy the countless monsters that roam within. The only problem is she might accidentally kill the other students too. So El is trying with all her might not to use it… unless she has no choice. Witty, biting, and funny, and with a profound sense of justice, this fascinating novel reminds us that there are things much more important than mere survival.
