The mesmerizing adult debut from #1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo
Galaxy "Alex" Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. Raised in the 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. By age twenty, in fact, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some 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. What's the catch, and why her?
Still searching for answers to this herself, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale's secret societies. These eight windowless "tombs" are well-known to be haunts of the future rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street and Hollywood's biggest players. But their occult activities are revealed to be more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive.
NINTH HOUSE is the long-awaited adult debut by the beloved author of SHADOW AND BONE and SIX OF CROWS. Leigh Bardugo will take her place alongside Lev Grossman and Deborah Harkness as one of the finest practitioners of literary fantasy writing today.

Debutul fascinant pentru adulti de la autorul bestsellerului # 1 al New York Times, Leigh Bardugo Galaxy "Alex" Stern, este cel mai putin probabil membru al clasei de boboc a lui Yale. Crescut in tarile din Los Angeles de catre o mama hippie, Alex a renuntat devreme la scoala si a intrat intr-o lume a iubitilor negustori ai traficantilor de droguri, a locurilor de munca fara fund si mult mai mult.
