Synopses

Rule of Wolves

As Fjerda’s army prepares to invade, Nikolai Lantsov relies on his ingenuity, charm and even the monster within to resist, while a darker threat rises beyond his ability to defy the odds. Zoya Nazyalensky, shaped by war and loss, is called to embrace her powers and become the weapon Ravka needs, whatever the cost.

In Fjerda’s capital, Nina Zenik operates deep undercover, risking discovery and death as she wages war from the inside. Her pursuit of revenge threatens to jeopardise her country’s chance at freedom and her own chance to heal.

King of Scars

Nikolai Lantsov has long had a gift for the impossible, but he keeps secret what he endured during Ravka’s bloody civil war. With enemies gathering at weakened borders, he must refill the coffers, forge new alliances and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army.

As the dark magic within him grows stronger, Nikolai sets out with a young monk and a legendary Grisha Squaller to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives, seeking to vanquish the legacy inside him.
