Campus-Leben, dunkle Magie und eine Heldin mit Kult-Potenzial: 'Das neunte Haus' verbindet Urban Fantasy mit Gothic Noir zu einem unwiderstehlichen Mix.MORS VINCIT OMNIA - Der Tod besiegt alles (Wahlspruch von Haus Lethe): Acht mächtige Studenten-Verbindungen beherrschen nicht nur den Campus der Elite-Universität Yale, sondern nehmen seit Generationen Einfluss auf Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft der USA - das neunte Haus jedoch überwacht die Einhaltung der Regeln. Denn die Macht der Verbindungen beruht auf uralter, dunkler Magie: So können die Mitglieder der 'Skull & Bones' die Börsenkurse aus den Eingeweiden lebender Opfer vorhersagen, während Haus Aurelian durch Blutmagie Einfluss auf das geschriebene Wort nehmen kann - ebenso hilfreich für Juristen wie für Bestseller-Autoren ...Als auf dem Campus von Yale eine Studentin brutal ermordet wird, sind die Fähigkeiten der Außenseiterin Alex Stern gefragt, die eben erst vom neunten Haus rekrutiert wurde: Nur Alex ist es auch ohne den Einsatz gefährlicher Magie möglich, die Geister der Toten zu sehen. Um eine Verschwörung aufzudecken, die weit über 100 Jahre zurückreicht, muss Alex ihre Fähigkeiten bis aufs Äußerste ausreizen.Die Autorin Leigh Bardugo hat mit ihren Fantasy-Bestsellern 'Das Lied der Krähen' und 'Das Gold der Krähen' ebenso wie mit ihrer Grisha-Trilogie auch in Deutschland bereits eine große Fangemeinde begeistert.'Der beste Fantasy-Roman, den ich seit Jahren gelesen habe, denn er handelt von echten Menschen.
