"Crowns topple easily. Thrones crumble like dust. Hearts cease to beat. Thorns draw blood." In a country torn into two, there should have been no room for mistakes. Especially not at the very core of the royal family. That was what she was. Yes, a Lantsov but a witch. Bloodletter. Grisha. In the darkness he longs for the country that had been his home for a great many years. A country that had branded him a heretic, a monster driven by greed, a traitor. Even in hiding, he yearns and yearns. For what, he did not know. But he soon will. A stain of red in an otherwise pristine white cloth. Either cut it out or cut yourself. ▪︎•▪︎•▪︎• The events of this book take place generations prior to Shadow and Bone. A few generations after the Fold was created. (Based on the books from the Grishaverse)

That's the same thing Lassie Andrews thought about her favorite book. Sure, millions of girls fawned over the mysterious Darkling, even though he was the evil villain. Lassie just didn't understand. She always leaned in with Alina. When a mysterious man dressed in a dark robe that looked like it belonged in Imperial Russia shows up in her life, Lassie is forced to take a closer look at her beloved book and the characters that seemed all to real. Because this time it might not just be Alina's freedom on the line. It could be hers. **** THE REWRITE IS UP! JUST GO TO THE PART CALLED Who is my mother, really? Rewrite. IT'S THE SECOND PART!
