Praise for the Grishaverse:
"This is what fantasy is for." The New York Times Book Review
Now with exclusive bonus material from Demon in the Wood (a Darkling prequel story) and a Q&A with Leigh Bardugo.
Soldier. Summoner. Saint. The nation's fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army.
The Darkling rules from his shadow throne while a weakened Alina Starkov recovers from their battle under the dubious protection of the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Now her hopes lie with the magic of a long-vanished ancient creature and the chance that an outlaw prince still survives.
As her allies and enemies race toward war, only Alina stands between her country and a rising tide of darkness that could destroy the world. To win this fight, she must seize a legend's power - but claiming the firebird may be her ruin.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In the conclusion of Leigh Bardugo’s enthralling Grisha Trilogy, the powers of light and darkness face off for an epic showdown. Young Alina Starkov is the only one with the magical powers that could save her kingdom—or at least, she used to be. Now she’s lost both her powers and her confidence. But by banding together with a few remaining rebels and some questionable allies, Alina hopes she can create peace in the kingdom of Ravka once and for all. We love everything about Alina, especially her imperfections. The mistakes she makes and the difficulties she faces—including navigating her complicated feelings for her childhood friend Mal, the outlaw prince Nikolai, and the enticing evil lord known as the Darkling—make her personal journey feel just as important as the sweeping fantasy tale that surrounds her. If you’re hooked on the show Shadow and Bone, you’ll quickly get caught up in Alina’s storyline, but trust us: You’ll want to read all three books in this series!
