Dianna breaks Amazon law by saving a mere mortal, something that places her on the verge of being exiled.

All Alia wanted to do was to spend a semester at sea, a convenient way of running away from her overprotective brother. When a bomb however explodes on Alia’s ship, she is rescued by a strong and powerful woman.

Diana and Alia end up forming an unshakable alliance, determined to destroy any forces that rise against them.

Alex Stern

Ninth House

Galaxy “Alex” Stern certainly isn’t the type to end up in a Yale freshman class.

Brought up by a hippie mom in the L.A hinterlands, she dropped out of school at an early age, with much of her life characterized by dubious drug dealer boyfriends and dead-end jobs.

Aged twenty, Alex is the only survivor of a deadly and mysterious multiple homicide.

Her life seems to have gone down the drain, until she is given an opportunity to attend one of the most prestigious universities in the world; on a mission to monitor the activities of Yale’s secret societies.

The occult activities are however more evil and incomprehensible beyond any wild imagination.

Hell Bent

Find a gateway to the underworld. Steal a soul out of hell. A simple plan, except people who make this particular journey rarely come back. But 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 can’t call on the Ninth House for help, so they assemble a team of dubious allies to save the gentleman of Lethe. Together, they will have to navigate a maze of arcane texts and bizarre artifacts to uncover the societies’ most closely guarded secrets, and break every rule doing it. 

But when faculty members begin to die off, Alex knows these aren’t just accidents. Something deadly is at work in New Haven, and if she is going to survive, she’ll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university’s very walls.
