BookPeople hosts Leigh Bardugo with her adult debut, Ninth House.
Join BookPeople in welcoming back to Austin author Leigh Bardugo presenting her mesmerizing adult debut, Ninth House.
This tale of power, privilege, dark magic and murder follows Galaxy "Alex" Stern who, at twenty, 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 prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?
Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. What she discovers is a slew of occult activities that are more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living.
