Galaxy ‘Alex’ Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime, Alex was hoping for a fresh start. But a free comes with a catch. Alex has been tasked with monitoring Yale’s secret societies - notorious haunts of the rich and powerful. Now there’s a dead girl on campus, and Alex seems to be the only person willing to look deeper. Because the societies are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And sometimes they prey on the living.
