Od pádu Ystary a okamžiku, kdy se Liliath ukryla ve starém sarkofágu v chrámu svaté Margarety, uběhlo více než sto let. Přesto se nyní probouzí krásná jako dřív a její touha setkat se se svojí láskou, archandělem Palenielem, je silnější, než kdy byla. Moc dobře ví, že i když je jedním z nejsilnějších andělských mágů a její moc je obrovská, stačit to nebude. Bude potřebovat pomoc těch čtyř: medika Simeona, lovce pokladů Henriho, kadetky Agnez a malířky ikon Dorotey. Oni sami cítí, že od chvíle, kdy se prvně setkali, je cosi spojuje. Netuší však, že se mají stát figurkami ve hře, za které bude táhnout někdo jiný…

Enter a school of magic unlike any you have ever encountered.

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 Higgins is uniquely prepared for the school’s many dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out untold millions – never mind easily destroy the countless monsters that prowl the school. Except, she might accidentally kill all the other students, too. So El is trying her hardest not to use it... that is, unless she has no other choice.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.
