it ends in fire

by Andrew Shvarts

ALKA CHELRAZI IS ON A MISSION:
1. Infiltrate Blackwater Academy
2. Win the Great Game
3. Burn Wizard society to the ground

As a child, Alka witnessed her parents' brutal murder at the hands of Wizards before she was taken in by an underground rebel group.

Now, Alka is deep undercover at the most prestigious school of magic in the Republic: Blackwater Academy, a place where status is everything, where decadent galas end in blood-splattered duels, where every student has their own agenda. To survive, Alka will have to lie, cheat, kill, and use every trick in her spy's toolkit. And for the first time in her life, the fiercely independent Alka will have to make friends in order to recruit the misfits and the outcasts into her motley rebellion.

But even as she draws closer to victory — to vengeance — she sinks deeper into danger as suspicious professors and murderous rivals seek the traitor in their midst, and dark revelations unravel her resolve. Can Alka destroy the twisted game...without becoming a part of it?

A morally gray, bisexual wizard infiltrates a corrupt magic school to take it down from the inside….need I say more?— Tesa, @bookish.vet

 

I picked up It Ends in Fire and had the hardest time putting it down. This is the wizarding-witchy revenge book we have all been waiting for! — Katie, @niftyreads

 

Imagine if Harry Potter got real angry about his parent's death, and trained in secret to infiltrate Hogwarts and kill the headmaster. Now imagine HP was a girl hell-bent on revenge and gave zero craps…  If you're rubbing your hands together manically, keep reading.— Celia, @celiamcmahonreads
