Wer die Hölle kennt

Magical, mysterious, and hellishly dark: In Leigh Bardugo's urban fantasy novel "Hell Bent," ghost-seer Alex Stern is back on the campus of the elite university Yale, ready to confront hell itself.

For centuries, eight powerful student societies at Yale have pulled the strings behind politics and business - but the ninth house oversees the enforcement of the rules. The power of these societies is based on ancient, dark magic.

While Alex Stern has managed to uncover a conspiracy on campus on behalf of the ninth house, her mentor Daniel Arlington has been kidnapped. Although Alex's feelings for Daniel lean in two very different directions, she will do everything to save him, even if it means literally going through hell!

Leigh Bardugo, the bestselling author of the Grishaverse novels, combines campus life with dark magic and a touch of gothic noir in the sequel to "Ninth House," creating an irresistible urban fantasy novel with cult potential. "This fantasy novel is brilliant, witty, brutal, and absolutely fantastic - it is a portal to a world you never want to leave." Lev Grossman on "Ninth House.".
