"She will save them all, or she will let the darkness claim their souls,"

Long before the existence of the Shadow Soldiers, there was a man, whose only crime was his curiosity. He had no thirst for power, merely a need for new knowledge. But after the creation of the first abomination, his world was plunged into darkness and the First War began. 

The wars raged on for decades, and sons and daughters were raised to take their parents places on the battlefield. 

Until the first glimmer of hope was born. A girl who had spent her life abandoned and shunned, who was born with the ability to control the air with nothing but her fingers, was discovered in the ruins of Al Tamar. A girl who had the power to defeat the King of Shadows. 

"but she will be our salvation, and blaze a burning trail that they will follow, into death or to life."

All Things Must End by ambercoleman48jj
40 parts Complete
A year after Alina Starkov tears down the Shadow Fold, she is finally able to settle into her peaceful life. There is no more war with Ravka. The Darkling, once her enemy, is now a loyal, protective husband, and a father to their adoptive daughter, Amelia. But all things must end. The Sun Summoner learns that a time of peace can become a time of chaos and upheaval in the blink of an eye. As quickly as one war ends, another can emerge. Alina must protect her country as Queen while making sure that the Darkling doesn't revert to his old villainous self, or else all they have built will come crashing down. This is a sequel to The True Saint, but can be read separately. The world is based off of the Shadow & Bone Netflix series/ books by Leigh Bardugo. Book cover art by: misticarts on tumblr ________ |PREVIEW| ------------- The Darkling raises his hand in a motion I know all too well. Behind him, a monster ten feet tall, made of shadow, forms in a menacing stance, ready to carry out his silent orders. I thought I had seen the last of his nichevo'ya a long time ago when we were on opposing sides of the war. I shake my head. "No. No, what are you doing? Wait!" I send the Cut barrelling at the monster. It dissociates into nothing only for another one to take its place. Again, I send the Cut through the abomination, but it was only a diversion. Another one forms behind me, capturing my arms to prevent me from summoning. It holds me above the ground. I kick and scream, but it covers my mouth with its long, slender arm, the other holding me securely to its chest. My breath is labored as I use all of my strength to fight it. It is futile. The Darkling approaches me, stroking his fingers across my cheek as a way to comfort me. It is hard, however, to comfort someone if you are the cause of the distress. "I will do anything in my power to protect you, my Dear Alina. Anything."
A Coin Has Two Sides || Kaz Brekker x OC by beingobsessedisfun
27 parts Complete Mature
Every coin has two sides. The same can be said for people. Her name is Wysteria Kirigan. A rare type of Grisha. A shadow summoner. A traumatic past follows her everywhere in the form of the shadows, the shadows she can control, but for how long can she keep them at bay? Repeated abuse will do things to a person, and Wysteria Kirigan is no exception. Battling with the memories of her past whilst trying to keep herself sane presents its difficulties, especially when you have so few good memories to snuff out the overwhelming number of bad ones. But what happens when she meets a few sneaky individuals in Ketterdam of which includes a man who holds the power to either be the best thing for her or the worst? [Kaz Brekker x fem!OC] #1 in kazbrekker [06/05/23] (WILD ... thank you all sm xx) WARNING : There is some strong language, reference to sexual themes, verbal abuse, and physical abuse. If any of these things might trigger you AT ALL please go and read one of the other incredible fanfics :) NOTE : Hi everyone :) This is my first ever fanfic so please judge me lol.

Of course all rights to Leigh Bardugo for the amazing crows and other Grishaverse related characters and places ;) I really hope you guys enjoy :)
The Shadow Crow (A Shadow and Bone: Season 2 Fanfiction) by WinterPhoenix123
19 parts Complete
A few days after Alina and I escaped the clutches of my brother, the former Ravkan general of the Second Army, Aleksander Kirigan, we parted ways. I went with Kaz Brekker and his gang of thieves, affectionately nicknamed the Crows, back to Ketterdam, while Alina Starkov and her friend, Mal Oretsev, left for other lands beyond the walls of Os Alta. In Ketterdam, I made a name for myself, aiding Kaz and the Crows in all manner of criminal behaviour, forgetting that I was ever the younger sister of the Black Heretic. But I've lost everything I've ever known. I don't know where my mother or my dear friend Genya is - sometimes, this new life is unfamiliar and uncomfortable, especially within the tight, damp spaces of Ketterdam, this sprawling criminal town that seems so big and yet so small. Or within the base of the Crows that I sometimes call home - or the feelings that I seem to feel for Kaz Brekker. Kaz and I still don't understand each other, and I don't think we ever will. Alina and Mal set off across the sea, and from what I heard, they were going in search of the second of Morozova's creatures, the Firebird. Alina hopes that with the help of the Firebird and the Stag as Grisha amplifiers, that she might be able to take down the Shadow Fold for good. I know that my brother, Aleksander Kirigan, did not die that day in the Fold, and that one day he would come to exact his vengeance upon his lost Sun Summoner and all of Ravka. As Kaz prepares to unleash fresh hell on old foes, and as Alina prepares to hopefully end the terror of the Darkling once and for all, I myself am preparing for a war on both sides. A war to protect my newfound friends and family, the Crows, and a war to protect my people, the Grisha.

A Coin Has Two Sides (Season One) || Kaz Brekker x OC

24 parts Complete Mature

Every coin has two sides. The same can be said for people. Her name is Wysteria Kirigan. A rare type of Grisha. A shadow summoner. After escaping her father's imprisonment and arriving in Ketterdam she went through an entire year of highs and lows with a certain group of crows. But one of them captured her attention more than the others. A man named Kaz Brekker. Now the Bastard of the Barrel is asking her to come with them on a job to a place she once vowed never to return. [Kaz Brekker x fem!OC] WARNING : This story involves some strong language, reference to sexual themes, and reference to physical and verbal abuse. NOTE : Hi everyone! Welcome to the second part of this series. This part follows the plot line of the first season of Shadow and Bone on Netflix. I would recommend going to read the first part to get some sense of the relationships between this OC and the other characters but I tried my best not to make it a necessity. As always, I can only take credit for the OC's in this fanfic. All other rights go to Netflix and the incredible Leigh Bardugo. I hope you all enjoy and will stick around to see what Winnie will get up to in season 2 ...
