An ongoing adult dark-academia trilogy about secret societies, ghosts, privilege, and occult power at Yale.
This is adult dark academia. Its content and emotional intensity should not be inferred from Bardugo’s young-adult work.
Best if you want
- A dark modern campus and consequential occult magic.
- Mystery, trauma, and institutional power.
Think twice if you need
- A gentle academy story or young-adult content boundaries.
- A completed trilogy.
