Carrying the burden of being the country’s great hope while navigating the pitfalls of royal intrigue and betrayal, Alina also fights her attraction towards her mentor General Kirigan and is constantly worried about her best friend Mal and how he fares on the front lines.

Without giving too much away, Alina struggles to find her place in the Grisha order and goes on a journey to hone her powers.

There are the Corporalki whose powers focus on the human body, the Etherealki (or summoners) whose power lies in the manipulation of different natural elements, and the Materialki aka Fabrikators, whose power focuses on composite materials such as metal, glass, textiles, and chemicals. Who are Grishas again? Magic users that are housed nicely into sects based on their powers and abilities. Soon, Alina is whisked away and is thrust into the lavish world of the kingdom’s magical elite – the Grisha. ![]() ![]() Like many fantasy series with a lead protagonist, it’s pretty darn obvious that the lead is special so when their army ship is attacked by volcras, Alina discovers a unique power within her and reveals that she may be the key to saving their war-ravaged nation.
