What this book is about

El, Orion, and their classmates are in their senior year at the Scholomance — the magical school that tries to eat its students. The graduation gauntlet looms: a run through the school's most dangerous levels with nearly every surviving mal in existence waiting. But El has glimpsed a different ending — one that could save everyone, if it doesn't kill her first. The middle chapter of the Scholomance trilogy raises the stakes and breaks readers' hearts.
