Welcome to Yale—where the ghosts are real, the secret societies are dangerous, and the dark magic is darker than your coffee. In this episode, Corrie and Lucia sink their teeth into Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, a gritty dark academia novel full of mystery, power, and one seriously badass protagonist: Galaxy “Alex” Stern.
Join us as we talk privilege, pain, and plot twists we never saw coming.
