Sequel synopsis contains spoilers for Ninth House.
Find a gateway to the underworld. Steal a soul out of hell. It sounds simple, except those who attempt the journey rarely return. Forbidden from mounting a rescue, Alex and Dawes cannot call on the Ninth House for help. Instead, they assemble a team of dubious allies to save the gentleman of Lethe.
Their search leads through arcane texts, bizarre artifacts, and the secret societies’ most closely guarded mysteries. Then faculty members begin to die, and Alex knows these are no accidents.
To survive the deadly forces at work in New Haven, she must confront the monsters of her past and the darkness built into the university’s walls. Packed with history and Bardugo’s signature twists, Hell Bent explores a world of magic, violence, and all-too-real monsters.
