Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (Shadow and Bone, #1)
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo begins the Shadow and Bone trilogy, a fantasy set in war-ravaged Ravka. When an orphaned soldier discovers an extraordinary magical gift, she is drawn into a world of royalty, intrigue, and dangerous secrets.
Soldier. Summoner. Saint.
Alina Starkov knows she may not survive her first crossing of the Shadow Fold, a swath of unnatural darkness crawling with monsters. But when her regiment is attacked, she unleashes dormant magic she never knew she possessed.
Training with the Grisha, her country’s magical military elite, Alina falls under the spell of their notorious leader, the Darkling. He believes her power could destroy the Shadow Fold and reunite Ravka, if she can master her untamed gift.
As the threat to the kingdom grows and Alina uncovers the secrets of her past, a dangerous discovery threatens everything she loves and the future of a nation.
Welcome to Ravka, a world of science and superstition where nothing is what it seems.
