Set in the Grishaverse after the Shadow and Bone trilogy and Six of Crows duology, this book follows King Nikolai Lantsov as he hides a dark, monstrous power growing inside him while trying to keep his war-ravaged country of Ravka afloat. Alongside his storyline, General Zoya Nazyalensky confronts her own grief and power, while Nina Zenik undertakes a dangerous undercover mission in hostile Fjerda to rescue persecuted Grisha. It's a political, character-driven fantasy about leadership, trauma, and hidden darkness rather than a focused romance.
