About this series
The Shadow and Bone trilogy is Leigh Bardugo's first Grishaverse series and the entry point to that world. In the war-torn nation of Ravka, orphaned soldier Alina Starkov discovers a rare power that could unmake the Shadow Fold — a swathe of unnatural darkness cutting the country in two — and is taken from her regiment to train among the Grisha, Ravka's magical elite. Across three books — Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising — the story moves through court intrigue, a fraught love triangle and a widening war. The trilogy is complete; the Grishaverse continues in the Six of Crows and King of Scars duologies. The prequel Demon in the Wood and the short story The Tailor sit alongside it as companions rather than numbered entries.
