A Deadly Education

El Higgins is a student at Scholomance, a school for the magically gifted where graduation is a literal matter of life and death. There are no teachers and no holidays; monsters lurk in every corner, waiting to devour the weak. El possesses a dark, world-ending power she refuses to use, choosing instead to survive on her own terms. This sharp, darkly humorous novel subverts the 'chosen one' trope, offering a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere and a protagonist you can't help but root for.
