Saint would do anything to escape everything. But what does it cost? Kruge, faith, pain, family? What would it take for a young soul to survive a gift she never asked for? This story takes place pre- Six of crows and continues through Crooked Kingdom. This is a fan made writing. I own Saint as a character, but I do not own any storylines or characters from the Six of Crows duology. This is my first fan fiction so feedback is helpful! Thank you for reading!

Aleksander Morozova deserved a good ending, someone who understood him and the actions he'd taken for his people. Ravka, and her Grisha, deserved a Sun Summoner who actually cared. The country should've had a Saint that would properly protect it. Not one who would run due to the whispered whims of a woman who cared little for her. The Sun Saint will bring peace to Ravka. By any means necessary.

UNDERGOING HEAVY EDITING :) Y/N Khaosa had always been alone, at least that she can remember. At the young age of fifteen, she found herself on a boat that led from Ravka to Kerch, specifically Ketterdam. When her golden opportunity comes to seek an adventure, she finds herself on a one-of-a-kind heist. With Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, and Jesper Fahey: the Crows. She finds her heart yearning and growing with feelings for one Crow in particular, the darkest of them all. Kaz too finds his heart yearning for Y/N overtime. (The plot and storyline will be based on the Netflix Series: Shadow and Bone) (The cover was made from pictures from Pinterest) NOTE: I do not own Shadow and Bone / Six of Crows; all of the rights belong to the owners, creators, writers, Leigh Bardugo, and Netflix.

The Shadow Fold-a realm cloaked in perpetual darkness and teeming with monsters-slowly devours Ravka, a nation that was once mighty and proud. Beyond Ravka's borders lies the kingdom of Staesal, a resplendent land where dragons soar freely. By their own will, these dragons venture into the Fold, standing as living guardians of their homeland. Alysanne Dragunov, the middle child of the Dragunov family and the only daughter is fire reborn in silver and violet. She moves through the world like a storm wrapped in silk, followed by Dragons not because of blood, but because she commands with vision, conviction and a fearless fee can match. She carries both mercy and wrath in equal measures striving to help the weak and innocent, while crushing those who defy her. Many would agree she was born to rule, compassion and ambition intertwine in her heart, forging a ruler who inspires loyalty, awe and fear on certain levels. Nikolai Lantsov is sunlight wrapped in a prince's uniform. Dazzling, reckless and far sharper than he appears. He laughs loudly, fights fiercely and loves his country with a devotion that borders on defiance. He is hope dressed as rogue, brilliance hidden behind a grin, and far more dangerous than anyone expects. Together, Alysanne and Nikolai stand at the edge of two worlds - one steeped in shadow, the other blazing with dragonfire. Their bond is forged not only through duty, but through a fierce, unyielding love that defies distance, danger, and fate itself. As darkness creeps closer and ancient forces awaken, they are drawn into a perilous dance of loyalty and ambition, mercy and vengeance. In a world where monsters stalk the land and kingdoms tremble, only courage, cunning, and unwavering devotion can decide the fate of nations-and carve a legacy that time itself cannot erase.

The last thing Kaz saw before he blacked out was a large burly man standing over him. ~ That was how she knew he was the only one that she would ever have a place for in her heart. To put it into other words, he was the only one she would ever love. His flaws made him perfect. From his cold-hearted, ruthless nature to his introverted self. From his haphephobia to his limp in his right leg. She loved every part of him. And these so-called imperfections in the eyes of others made him Kaz, the Bastard of the Barrel, Dirtyhands, the man she had given her heart to. ~ It's been a week since Kuwei's auction, since Matthias died, since Kaz brought Inej's parents to Ketterdam. To no one's surprise, her parents have stayed and Inej has been spending as much time as possible with them. However there's one small problem for Kaz : Inej has asked him to come to the hotel to meet her parents. With no idea how they'd react to such a person that Inej has been working with, Kaz can't control or stop the rollercoaster of emotions he feels, as much as he wants to. ~ ALL RIGHTS go to Leigh Bardugo for creating such awesome,complex characters and an amazing series. ~ Best Rankings: - #961 youngadult - #188 ya - #8 yaromance

Or will the silence left behind by their magic be the thing that finally breaks them? ​A journey of redemption, loss, and the fragile hope that grows where power ends. This story is a work of fanfiction inspired by the Grishaverse novels (Shadow and Bone) by Leigh Bardugo. While the plot and certain character developments are my own creative take, the original characters, world-building, and lore belong to the brilliant Leigh Bardugo. This is a "what-if" exploration of the aftermath of the main series.

"But what shall happen? When the sun shares space with the moon? Light with darkness?" "An eclipse, my dear." Taking you back to the chapel scene in the bestseller 'Siege and Storm', book two of the global phenomenon 'Shadow and Bone', 'Guiding Light' is a fan-fiction that dives into the possibility of another outcome, allowing Darklina to become something more than just a fantasy. All rights and credits go to the outstanding Leigh Bardugo, who owns all the characters I will be writing and the books this work is inspired by.

Always." ××× Welcome to The Pact of the Shadowalkers, a Six of Crows fanfiction retelling of Ellana by Pierre Bottero. Enjoy little Humans xx

"I can't get his face out of my head," Nina grabbed her knees and cried. "I wouldn't either," Kaz said, "No, not when he died. For the last two weeks I've seen him. In Hell. The plaything of... a Man in Black." She gulped. "What?" "Matthias was a man of his faith, how could he go to Hell," she said to herself. "The man. He reminded me of the Darkling." A story about Kaz pulling off the greatest heist ever. Stealing a soul from the afterlife.
