Title: Ninth House (Based on the description)

Overview:

A dark, contemporary fantasy set in an elite university where secret societies and magic intertwine.
The story follows Galaxy "Alex" Stern, a young woman with the rare ability to see ghosts.
Alex is tasked with monitoring Yale’s secret societies and their use of magic, but her true goal is more personal: to find a way to bring Darlington, a haunted soul trapped in purgatory, back to the world of the living.
The journey to the underworld and the attempt to steal a soul is perilous—those who undertake it rarely return unchanged or alive.
Alex’s determination to save Darlington puts her at odds with powerful forces at Yale and beyond, risking her future at Lethe, the secret society that grants her access, and her place at the university.
