About this series
The Grishaverse is Leigh Bardugo's shared fantasy world, spanning three numbered sub-series and a set of companions. It opens with the Shadow and Bone trilogy (Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, Ruin and Rising), continues in the Six of Crows duology (Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom), and concludes to date with the King of Scars duology (King of Scars, Rule of Wolves). Alongside them sit the illustrated companions and folktales — The Language of Thorns, The Lives of Saints, the Demon in the Wood graphic novel, and the short stories of Ravka. Set across the warring nations of a world where Grisha wield elemental magic, the books move from a soldier's discovery of a rare power, to a crew of outcasts running an impossible heist, to a young king fighting to hold his country together.
