Time's bestseller that 'stephen King calls 'Impossible to put
down'
The mesmerising adult debut from Leigh
Bardugo. A tale of power, privilege, dark magic and murder set among
the Ivy League elite.
Alex 'stern is the most
unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. A dropout and the sole
survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime - the last thing she wants is
to cause trouble. Not when Yale was supposed to be her fresh start.
But a free ride to one of the world's most prestigious
universities was bound to come with a catch.
Alex
has been tasked with monitoring the mysterious activities of Yale's
secret societies - societies that have yielded some of the most famous
and influential people in the world. Now there's a dead girl on campus
and Alex seems to be the only person who won't accept the neat answer
the police and campus administration have come up with for her
murder.
Because Alex knows the secret societies are
far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined.
