The Grishaverse books by Leigh Bardugo have captured the imagination of readers around the world with their intricate world-building, engaging characters, and thrilling plotlines. Unlike many fantasy sagas, the universe is built from multiple short series set in the same world. This collection features the first book of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy and the complete Six of Crows duology. This collector’s edition three-book hardback set will look stunning on any reader’s bookshelf! Shadow and Bone is the first series in the Grishaverse, set in the land of Ravka, a place torn apart by war and dark magic. The story centres around Alina Starkov, an orphan and mapmaker in the Ravkan army. Alina discovers that she possesses a rare and powerful Grisha ability to control light, which brings her to the attention of the Darkling, the most powerful Grisha in Ravka. The Darkling is determined to use Alina's power to destroy the Shadow Fold, a dark and deadly swath of darkness that has cut Ravka off from the sea and its allies for centuries. As Alina trains with the Grisha, she discovers that nothing in Ravka is quite as it seems, and she must navigate dangerous politics and hidden agendas to save her country and herself. The Six of Crows duology, which includes Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, takes place two years after the Shadow and Bone trilogy in a different corner of the Grishaverse, in the bustling city of Ketterdam. Here, readers are introduced to a new cast of characters, including Kaz Brekker, a ruthless and cunning criminal mastermind, and Inej Ghafa, a talented acrobat and member of Kaz's gang. When Kaz is offered a dangerous and potentially lucrative heist, he assembles a team of misfits and outcasts, including the sharpshooting Jesper Fahey, the Grisha Nina Zenik, and the former soldier Matthias Helvar, to pull off the impossible. As they embark on their mission, the crew of the Six of Crows must navigate treacherous alliances, deadly enemies, and their own complicated pasts. Along the way, they uncover secrets that threaten to tear them apart and must rely on each other more than ever to survive. Both series are filled with vividly drawn characters, intricate world-building, and heart-stopping action. Bardugo's writing is both lush and propulsive, drawing readers in with evocative descriptions and deftly plotted twists and turns. Each book in the Grishaverse is a masterclass in storytelling, filled with unforgettable moments that will stay with readers long after they've turned the final page. Fans of fantasy and adventure novels will find much to love in the Grishaverse books, with their richly realized world and complex, flawed characters. Bardugo's ability to blend high-stakes action with moments of quiet introspection and tender romance make these books perfect for readers of all ages, from young adult to adult. Overall, the Grishaverse books by Leigh Bardugo are a must-read for anyone who loves immersive fantasy worlds, richly drawn...
