El, short for Galadriel, is a magic high school that eats about half of the students, or rather mals get them. It is dangerous to make friends, but also necessary to form alliances by the last year.
Some of the other students belong to magical families who have joined an enclave. These students are used to getting their way, have access to the best spells and use the unaffiliated as serfs with the promise to consider them for membership in their enclave if they live through graduation.
El is a dark wizard, born to the sweetest healer in Europe. She refused to embrace her darkness, but the school keeps giving her assignments based on her evil talent.
Novik has created a wonderful series. I love this book and cannot wait for the next. Buy a copy today.
