The Secret Societies of Yale

In Bardugo's world, Yale's famous secret societies aren't just networking clubs—they're magical orders:

• Skull and Bones (Lethe): Death magic
• Scroll and Key (Aurelian): Prognostication
• Book and Snake (Serpent): Money magic
• Wolf's Head (Fenris): Shapeshifting
• And more, each with their own dark rituals

Alex Stern can see ghosts—a rare ability that earns her a full ride to Yale as Lethe's new monitor. Her job: make sure the rituals don't go wrong.

But when a murder occurs during a ritual, Alex must investigate secrets the old-money elite want buried.

What Sets This Book Apart

Ninth House is not YA. Bardugo tackles:

• Sexual assault and trauma: Alex's backstory is harrowing
• Drug addiction: Her path to Yale was dark
• Class warfare: The rich literally consume the poor
• Violence: Graphic and consequential
• Institutional corruption: Power protects power

This is horror with teeth.
