Publisher Description

See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with the Netflix series, Shadow and Bone. Daring rogue Nikolai finally joins the fold in Season 2 -- covering explosive events of both Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising -- streaming now!

Enter the Grishaverse with Book Three of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom.

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.

Thumbs Up“1.5 stars for Nikolai, and the other 0.5 for Zoya :). Best book in the trilogy for sure tho. I enjoyed the dialogues in which either Nikolai or Zoya were involved. The plot of this one was more engaging than the previous two. Other than that, Alina is so boring and annoying, and Mal was even more boring.”

Slightly Smiling Face“Okay…:) The third and the best book! I actually did enjoy this reading experience. Twisty and unpredictable 😋 And I LOVED how the background was revealed and explained - it was exciting! Very pleased with the ending! Cute <3. I have, however, had a problem throughout the whole series with understanding the characters. They were not explained and described enough for me. Overall, I give the trilogy 3/5 ⭐️”
