Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the last person you’d expect at Yale. Raised by a free-spirited mother in the outskirts of Los Angeles, she slipped into a life of drugs, dangerous boyfriends, and dead-end jobs. By twenty, she was the sole survivor of a brutal, unsolved multiple homicide—a tragedy that should have ended her story. Instead, as she lay in a hospital bed, she was offered an impossible chance: a full ride to one of the world’s most elite universities. But why her—and at what cost?
In New Haven, Alex learns her admission comes with a dangerous assignment: to oversee Yale’s infamous secret societies. Behind the stone walls of their windowless “tombs,” the heirs of the wealthy and powerful gather—not just to network, but to practice occult rites that twist the boundary between life and death. They summon the dead. They wield forbidden magic. And some of them hunger for the living.
This title carries the Raven's Seal of Approval, reserved for tales that haunt and linger.
