The dashing young king Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows
what he endured in his country's bloody civil war-and he intends to keep it that way. Now as
enemies gather at his weakened borders Nikolai must find a way to refill Ravka's coffers
forge new alliances and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army. Yet with every
day a dark magic within him grows stronger threatening to destroy all he has built. With the
help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha general Nikolai will journey to the places in
Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. He will risk
everything to save his country and himself. But some secrets aren't meant to stay buried-and
some wounds aren't meant to heal. Read all the books in the Grishaverse! The Shadow and Bone
