It ends in fire
(Book)

As a child, Alka witnessed her parents' brutal murder at the hands of Wizards. Taken in by an underground rebel group, 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 she will have to make friends in order to recruit the misfits and the outcasts into her motley rebellion. Can Alka destroy the twisted game-- without becoming a part of it? -- Adapted from jacket.
