Galaxy "Alex" Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. She dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. But lying in a hospital bed--the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide--she is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world's most prestigious universities for free. The catch? Alex is tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale's secret societies. But their occult activities are more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination could possibly conceive. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living.
