Shadow and Bone

Shadow and Bone is a fantasy adventure and debut novel written by Leigh Bardugo. Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold; near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on humans. Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, ALina reveals a dormant power that saves his life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free.
