Alina Starkov is a mapmaker's assistant in the Ravkan army when she discovers she is a Sun Summoner: a Grisha with the rarest power in the world, one that could destroy the Fold and reunite the kingdom. Brought to the Little Palace to train under the Darkling, the most powerful Grisha alive, she begins to understand that power this rare attracts attention of a particularly dangerous kind. A trilogy about the cost of being extraordinary in a world that wants to use extraordinary people, and about whether the promise of salvation is ever worth the price attached to it.

Ketterdam is a city built on trade and crime, where the Merchant Council looks the other way and the gangs run everything below the surface. Kaz Brekker, the most feared teenager in the city's most powerful gang, is offered a job that should be impossible: break into the most secure prison in the world and extract a hostage worth more than any of them can imagine. He assembles a crew of specialists: a convict, a sharpshooter, a runaway, a spy, a Grisha. A duology that runs parallel to the events of Shadow and Bone, set in a different country with a different tone: darker, funnier, and more interested in what loyalty costs when everyone involved has reasons to betray everyone else.
King of Scars
0 books
Nikolai Lantsov, King of Ravka, is trying to hold his country together after the events of Shadow and Bone while hiding something monstrous inside himself. A duology following the political aftermath of the first trilogy, with Nikolai and his general Zoya Nazyalensky navigating a kingdom still fractured by war, a new religious movement, and threats from within the court and without. More explicitly political than its predecessors, and more interested in what it means to lead than in the discovery of power.
