Ninth House - Summary
Ninth House follows Galaxy "Alex" Stern, a mysterious young woman with the rare ability to see ghosts, who is recruited to monitor Yale's secret societies and their dangerous magical rituals. After surviving a multiple homicide, Alex is offered a full ride to Yale in exchange for joining Lethe House, the organization tasked with keeping the supernatural activities of the university's elite secret societies in check. When a local girl is murdered and dark forces threaten both the living and the dead, Alex must navigate a treacherous world of privilege, power, and ancient magic while confronting her own haunted past.
