Ninth House (Alex Stern, Book 1)

From the author of Shadow and Bone, Ninth House is a dark, gripping urban fantasy that blends magic, murder, and Ivy League secrets.

Galaxy "Alex" Stern is the most unlikely freshman at Yale. Raised by a drug-dealing mother and the sole survivor of a horrific massacre, Alex is offered a full ride to one of the world’s most prestigious universities—with one condition: she must monitor the secret societies of Yale, where occult rituals blur the line between magic and reality.

As she uncovers the truth behind a student’s death and the powers at play, Alex must confront her own past and decide how far she’s willing to go for justice in a world ruled by elite power and ancient magic.
