“Wealth, power, murder, and magic collide once again as Alex Stern returns, and the Ivy League faces impending chaos.
Embark on a journey to the underworld, aiming to steal a soul from hell—an ostensibly straightforward plan, yet those who undertake this perilous quest seldom return. Undeterred, Galaxy “Alex” Stern is determined to liberate Darlington from purgatory, even if it jeopardizes her future at Lethe and Yale.
Barred from an official rescue mission, Alex and Dawes find themselves unable to seek aid from the Ninth House. Undeterred, they assemble a motley crew of questionable allies to save the denizen of Lethe. Together, they must navigate through a labyrinth of arcane texts and peculiar artifacts, uncovering the closely guarded secrets of their society while violating every rule in the process. However, as faculty members start succumbing to mysterious deaths, Alex discerns that these are no mere accidents. A malevolent force is at play in New Haven, and to survive, she must confront the shadows of her past and the ominous undercurrents woven into the fabric of the university.
Immersed in history and adorned with Bardugo’s trademark twists, Hell Bent breathes life into a complex world teeming with magic, violence, and all too tangible monsters.”
