The second book in the Shadow and Bone Trilogy follows Alina Starkov, the Sun Summoner, as she is hunted across the True Sea alongside Mal, her powers growing at a cost. Pursued by the Darkling, who seeks her magic to seize the Ravkan throne, Alina turns to a privateer for aid and takes up leadership of the Grisha army. As her destiny becomes clearer, she must weigh her growing power against the people and love she holds dear, while her country faces mounting danger.
