King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo returns to the Grishaverse with a gripping tale of power, survival, and the demons that haunt us. Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible—as a privateer, a soldier, and now as the young king of Ravka. But the country he's fought so hard to save is still struggling to heal from years of war, and Nikolai himself harbors a terrible secret: a monster lives inside him, a dark legacy from his time as the Darkling's captive.
As Nikolai works to rebuild his nation and secure his throne, he must also find a way to control the beast within before it destroys everything he's built. Meanwhile, Nina Zenik is on a dangerous mission in Fjerda, hunting for Grisha who have been captured and enslaved. Her quest will take her deep into enemy territory, where she'll face impossible choices and discover that some secrets are worth dying for.
This thrilling duology opener weaves together political intrigue, dark magic, and heart-pounding adventure, featuring beloved characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy alongside compelling new voices. Popular with readers who love complex anti-heroes, morally grey characters, and fantasy worlds rich with magic and danger, it's perfect for fans of epic fantasy with romance, witty banter, and high-stakes battles against both external enemies and inner demons.
