Publisher Description

#1 New York Times Bestseller

From the author of Shadow and Bone, now a hit NETFLIX series

“Readers will be wowed." –Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Wealth. Power. Murder. Magic. The Ivy League is going straight to hell in the sequel to the smash New York Times bestseller Ninth House from #1 bestselling author Leigh Bardugo.


"Bardugo’s imaginative reach is brilliant." –Stephen King

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2023 by The New York Times, The Week, Kirkus Reviews, PopSugar, Distractify, Booklist Queen, The Nerd Daily, and more!!

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.

Thick with history and packed with Bardugo’s signature twists, Hell Bent brings to life an intricate world full of magic, violence, and all too real monsters.

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“i bought this book on release day and it took me about three days to finish it! i honestly enjoyed this book way more than ninth house! it was a bit more fast-paced in my opinion and i also loved seeing more of dawes! she’s one of my favorite characters in the alex stern series! i love anything to do with dark academia and also seeing the darker side of the secret societies was both intriguing and terrifying all at once”

Expressionless Face“I waited so long for this story… and it was a complete flop…. The pace of the plot arc meant that no character fully had time to develop. So lots of jumping around, no time to let characters grow and breathe … oh and the info-dumping…. Not for me”
