Orphaned and considered expendable, Alina Starkov serves as a soldier facing a perilous crossing of the Shadow Fold, an expanse of unnatural darkness filled with monsters. When her regiment is attacked, she reveals a dormant magic she did not know she had.

Alina is drawn into a world of royalty and intrigue as she trains with the Grisha, her country’s magical military elite, and comes under the influence of their leader, the Darkling. With the kingdom under increasing threat and secrets from her past emerging, she faces a discovery that could endanger those she loves and the future of the nation.
