Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has
been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near
impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on
human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one
lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her
regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is
brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves
his life—a power that could be the key to setting her
war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she
knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be
trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by
the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With
darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her
untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of
the Grisha…and the secrets of her heart. This title has
Common Core connections.
