Ninth House is the mesmerizing adult debut from #1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo, a tale of power, privilege, dark magic, and murder set among the Ivy League elite. Galaxy Alex Stern is the most unlikely member of Yales freshman class. Raised in Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she's thrown her life away. But at her hospital bedside, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world's most prestigious universities on a full ride. What's the catch, and why her?
