Ninth House

In 'Ninth House', Leigh Bardugo crafts a tale of power, privilege, dark magic, and murder within the elite environment of Yale University.

Galaxy 'Alex' Stern, a dropout and survivor of a horrific crime, is offered a full scholarship to Yale on the condition that she monitors the activities of the university's secret societies.

These societies, known for their occult rituals and magical practices, are more sinister than they appear.

As Alex delves deeper into the mysteries of these societies, she must navigate a world of forbidden magic, ghostly apparitions, and the dark underbelly of Yale's elite.

The novel explores themes of abuse of power, trauma, and the complexities of Alex's own past, all set against the backdrop of a prestigious Ivy League university.
