She isn't quite herself; neither is he. But when they come together, it's explosive.

Alina Starkov is an eighteen-year-old freshman at the Royal University of Ravka. She does not expect to find herself entangled with a Prince, a Professor, or an ancient secret society that means to ruin them all. But she does. The only question is will she outsmart them all and survive her freshman year? Or will she embrace the darkness?

"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.
