Ninth House

by Leigh Bardugo · 2019

Ninth House follows Galaxy “Alex” Stern, a 20‑year‑old survivor of a brutal homicide who can see and speak to ghosts. Offered a full‑ride to Yale, she is recruited into Lethe, the mysterious ninth house, to monitor the university’s eight secret societies that practice dangerous occult magic. Set against the backdrop of Ivy League privilege, the novel blends dark fantasy, thriller, and mystery with a gritty, coming‑of‑age tale of trauma, power, and the supernatural.
