"The pain and fear overcame me. I screamed. The hidden part inside me surged to the surface. I couldn't stop. The world exploded in a blazing white light. The darkness shattered around us like glass." The orphan Alina Starkov does not have great ambitions in life, it would be enough for her to do her best work as an apprentice cartographer in the army of Ravka, once a powerful nation and now a kingdom surrounded by enemies, and to be able to be next to her good friend Mal, the boy she grew up with and has been in love with for a long time. But fate has something else in store for her. When their regiment crosses the Shadow Fault, the strip of nearly impenetrable darkness that literally bisects the kingdom of Ravka, she and her companions are attacked by the fearful, hungry beings that dwell there. And just at the moment in which Alina throws herself to the rescue of her seriously injured friend Mal, an enormous power awakens within her, like a sudden and intense light capable of filling her head, blinding her and completely submerging her. She is immediately recruited by the Grisha, the elite of magical creatures who, under the command of the Dark One, the most powerful man in Ravka after the king, maneuvers the entire court. Alina, in fact, is the only one among them capable of summoning a force so powerful as to destroy the Fault and reunite the war-torn kingdom again, finally bringing peace and prosperity back to it. But at the sumptuous palace where she is taken to hone her power, nothing is what it seems and Alina will soon find herself facing both the shadows that threaten the kingdom and those that threaten her heart. The upcoming Netflix series is based on this novel.
