The dead are restless. The past is hungry. And Alex Stern is running out of bargains.

Galaxy “Alex” Stern survived her induction into Lethe House, navigated the treacherous occult rituals of Yale’s elite, and broke through the gates of Hell itself in Hell Bent. But occult power always comes with a receipt—and the reckoning has arrived.

In Dead Beat, Leigh Bardugo brings the acclaimed Ninth House trilogy to a razor-sharp, breathtaking finish:

• Dark Magic & Deep Secrets: Delve deeper into the occult underground of the Ivy League where magic is bought, traded, and weaponized.

• Relentless Stakes: Alex and Darlington face choices with permanent consequences as the boundaries between their world and the veil shatter completely.

• Atmospheric & Gritty: Bardugo delivers her signature blend of biting wit, academic obsession, and visceral tension that keeps readers turning pages late into the night.

Whether you’ve followed Alex from her first steps down Elm Street or you’re returning for the grand finale, Dead Beat is an unmissable masterpiece of modern Dark Academia.
