Galaxy “Alex” Stern ended up in the last place she ever thought she’d be - Yale - with a free ride without having applied for college. All Alex wanted to do was get high and avoid seeing all the ghosts that crowded her life every day. Especially after the experience she had with a ghost assaulting her, ghosts shouldn’t be able to touch her or anyone for that matter but they are and the only thing that keeps them at bay is when she’s high.
After waking in a hospital to find her best friend and an entire apartment of people brutally murdered, she’s offered a trip to Yale for her special abilities as long as she starts training to monitor the eight houses - skulls and bones, book and snake, wolf’s head, manuscript, scrolls and key, Aurelian, st Elmo, and Berzelius. The houses are practicing occult magics and need to be monitored so that they do not open any doors they cannot close.
