The Last Graduate

El is back for her senior year at the Scholomance, the deadliest school of magic in the world, where students without an enclave's protection are expected to fight, and often die, just to reach graduation. Determined not to let her prophesied dark power consume her, El resolves to get her entire year out alive, allies and rivals alike, even as enclave politics threaten to tear her hard-won alliances apart. With Orion, Aadhya, and Liu at her side, she uncovers a lost spellbook that could change how wizards protect themselves from the monstrous mals hunting them, if she can survive long enough to use it. As graduation approaches and the school's true purpose comes into focus, El has to decide how far she is willing to go for people who have never had reason to trust her.
