Ninth House (Book #1)

"Galaxy 'Alex' Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific unsolved crime, Alex was hoping for a fresh start. But her free ride comes with a catch. She has been tasked with monitoring Yale's secret societies—notorious haunts of the rich and powerful. Now there's a dead girl on campus, and Alex is the only person willing to look deeper. Because the societies are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And sometimes they prey on the living… A tale of power, privilege and dark magic, Ninth House is Leigh Bardugo's mesmerising Sunday Times-bestselling adult debut."
