From Leigh Bardugo comes a dark, gripping fantasy set within the secret societies of Yale—where power, privilege, and the supernatural collide.

Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely student to attend Yale. With a troubled past and no traditional qualifications, her place at the prestigious university comes with one catch: she must monitor the activities of Yale’s secret societies—groups that practice dangerous, otherworldly magic.

Thrust into a hidden world of occult rituals, wealth, and influence, Alex quickly realises that these societies are far more sinister than anyone suspects. When a local murder begins to intertwine with the secrets she’s uncovering, she’s pulled deeper into a mystery that could cost her everything.

Haunted by ghosts—both literal and figurative—Alex must navigate a world where power is everything and trust is a dangerous gamble.

Dark, atmospheric, and intensely layered, this story blends mystery with fantasy in a haunting academic setting.
