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.

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.
