The Last Graduate

Brought to you by Penguin. 

Return to the Scholomance – a school of magic unlike any you have ever encountered – in the stunning sequel to the Sunday Times best-selling A Deadly Education, the start of Naomi Novik’s groundbreaking crossover series.

There are no teachers, no holidays; friendships are purely strategic, and the odds of survival are never equal. Once you’re inside, there are only two ways out: you graduate, or you die.

El, Orion and the other students are faced with their final year – and the looming spectre of graduation. El is determined that her chosen group will survive, but it is a prospect that is looking harder by the day as the savagery of the school ramps up. Until El realises that sometimes winning the game means throwing out all the rules….

Wry, witty, endlessly inventive and mordantly funny – yet with a true depth and fierce justice at its heart – this enchanting novel reminds us that there are far more important things than mere survival.
