This book is brilliant, funny, raw, and utterly magnificent – it’s a portal to a world you’ll never want to leave.” – Lev Grossman, bestselling author of the Magicians trilogy “One of the best fantasy novels I’ve read in years. But their occult activities are revealed to be more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive. These eight windowless “tombs” are well-known to be haunts of the future rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street and Hollywood’s biggest players. Still searching for answers to this herself, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most elite universities on a full ride.
Some might say she’s thrown her life away. By age twenty, in fact, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Bardugo’s imaginative reach is brilliant, and this story―full of shocks and twists―is impossible to put down.” – Stephen King But their occult activities are revealed to be more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive.“The best fantasy novel I’ve read in years, because it’s about real people.
