About the Book:
Ninth House is a riveting tale of dark magic, hidden secrets, and the quest for truth, blending the gritty underworld with the elite corridors of one of America’s most prestigious institutions.
Galaxy « Alex » Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by her hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and fell into a world of shady drug dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much worse. By the age of twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Many might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most elite universities on a full ride. The catch? She must monitor the activities of Yale’s secret societies.
Arriving in New Haven, Alex finds herself thrust into a world where the future rich and powerful—high-ranking politicians, Wall Street moguls, and Hollywood’s elite—convene in eight windowless « tombs. » These societies’ occult activities, however, are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone could imagine. As Alex navigates this dark and dangerous world, she must uncover the secrets behind the societies’ power while confronting her own haunted past.
