About this ebook

See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with the Netflix series, Shadow and Bone. Daring rogue Nikolai finally joins the fold in Season 2 -- covering explosive events of both Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising -- streaming now!

Enter the Grishaverse with Book Two of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom.

Soldier. Summoner. Saint. Alina Starkov’s power has grown, but not without a price. She is the Sun Summoner—hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Shadow Fold. But she and Mal can’t outrun their enemies for long.

The Darkling is more determined than ever to claim Alina’s magic and use it to take the Ravkan throne. With nowhere else to turn, Alina enlists the help of an infamous privateer and sets out to lead the Grisha army.

But as the truth of Alina's destiny unfolds, she slips deeper into the Darkling’s deadly game of forbidden magic, and further away from her humanity. To save her country, Alina will have to choose between her power and the love she thought would always be her shelter. No victory can come without sacrifice—and only she can face the oncoming storm.

Ratings and reviews

Until I accidentally stumbled onto this trilogy. I love Leigh's style. I've never been much of a reader, but I've read these two books plus her short story in 4 days! Excellent. Can't put it down. Wish 2014 would get here quicker so we can see what happens to everyone! Where's the prince? Will she be able to summond light again? Her and Mal? Her and the Darkling? Can the Darkling be cured (Doubtful, but it's a possibility) ;) Great book! Great trilogy. Go read. Now!
