About this ebook

See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with the Netflix series, Shadow and Bone - Season 2 streaming now!

Enter the Grishaverse with book three of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy by number one New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Sarah J. Maas.

Now with a stunning new cover and exclusive bonus material: The Demon in the Wood (a Darkling prequel story) and a Q&A with Leigh Bardugo.

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.

I really liked this series . Even though , I wasn't a huge fan of Mal or The Darkling , I really enjoyed it . And I know we don't have to read this to read the Six of Crows Duology ( Which I really really love and recommend ) , I am glad I read this , because when certain characters are mentioned , I feel like screaming I KNOW HIM/HER ! Many people don't like the book but I really enjoyed it and I love Leigh Bardugo's Books .

I didn't expect the book to be soooo good after the first two books were bit dull and boring. There are good surprises and revelations and this one doesn't bore you at all. Things happen fast, decisions are made quick and the ending is very good. Personally, this one is the best in the entire trilogy. Wonderful ending to the series!
