Details
Lavinia Vin Lucas is a rebellious teenager with a wild, untamed magical ability, neglected by her parents who prefer studying dung beetles to raising her. After years of trouble in various magical schools, Vin finds herself sent to the Last Hope School for Magical Delinquents, the final stop before her expulsion from the world of magic. The school promises her one last chance to control her powers, but she quickly discovers that fitting in at Last Hope is far from easy.
Despite her determination to follow the rules, the environment around her encourages chaos. Her teachers, especially the enigmatic and kind headmistress, push her to embrace her powers fully. Her mischievous classmates find humor in her every misstep, and strange occurrences unfold, including the presence of a mysterious fire sprite and a suspicious instructor. All the while, her magic grows increasingly difficult to control, threatening to undermine her every effort.
As a former student attacks the school, Vin is forced to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about her new home. The headmistress's true intentions, the safety of the school, and the secrets buried within its walls become central to her survival. In the face of danger, Vin must rely on her abilities, her new friends, and the clever tricks and traps they use to uncover the truth and protect Last Hope from destruction.
