Here's the synopsis:
Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
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. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha…and the secrets of her heart.

I'd love to know if the versions are exactly alike, or if the wording/story line varies. What does the cover look like? Is it the same?
DeleteAaaah! I have been trying to win this book for months! It was my favorite read last year and one of the best books I've ever read. Thanks for such an awesome choice! :D
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I love this story too! And the Darkness is one of my favorite characters of all time, although I think that says more about me than the actual book. :-)
