Hell Bent: The global sensation from the creator of Shadow and Bone – Bardugo Leigh (2024)

Wealth. Power. Murder. Magic. Alex Stern is back, and the Ivy League is going straight to hell. Find a gateway to the underworld. Steal a soul out of hell. It sounds simple, except that people who make this particular journey rarely return. Galaxy “Alex” Stern is determined to break Darlington out of purgatory, even if it costs her a future at Lethe and at Yale. Forbidden from attempting a rescue, Alex and Dawes cannot call on the Ninth House for help, so they assemble a team of dubious allies to save the gentleman of Lethe. Together, they must navigate a maze of arcane texts and bizarre artefacts to uncover the societies’ most closely guarded secrets, breaking every rule along the way. When faculty members begin to die, Alex knows these are not accidents. Something deadly is at work in New Haven, and to survive she must confront the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university’s very walls. Rich in history and filled with Leigh Bardugo’s signature twists, Hell Bent brings to life an intricate world of magic, violence and all-too-real monsters.
