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.

Title In This Set: 1. American Gods 2. Neverwhere 3. Anansi Boys 4. Stardust 5. The Ocean at the End of the Lane Description: American Gods After three years in prison, Shadow Moon is free to go home. But hours before his release, his beloved wife is killed in a freak accident. Numbly, he boards a plane where he meets an enigmatic stranger who seems to know Shadow and claims to be an ancient god - and king of America. Together they embark on a profoundly strange road trip across the USA, encountering a kaleidoscopic cast of characters along the way. But all around them a storm of unnatural proportions is gathering. War is coming, an epic struggle for the very soul of America. And Shadow is standing squarely in its path. Neverwhere Under the streets of London lies a world most people could never dream of. When Richard Mayhew stops to help a girl he finds bleeding in the street, his unremarkable life changes in an instant. This act of kindness leads him to a place filled with murderers and angels, pale girls in black velvet, a Beast in a labyrinth and an Earl who holds Court in a tube train. It is strangely familiar yet utterly bizarre. Anansi Boys Everything changes for Fat Charlie Nancy, the South London boy so called by his father, the day his dad drops dead while doing karaoke. Charlie didn't know his estranged father was a god - Anansi the trickster, master of mischief and social disorder. He never knew he had a brother either. Now brother Spider is on his doorstep, about to make life more interesting . . . and a lot more dangerous. It's a meeting that will take Fat Charlie from his London home to Florida, the Caribbean, and the very beginning of the world itself. Or the end of the world, depending on which way you're looking. Stardust Life moves at a leisurely pace in the tiny town of Wall - named after the imposing stone barrier which separates the town from a grassy meadow. Here, young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the beautiful Victoria Forester and for the coveted prize of her hand, Tristran vows to retrieve a fallen star and deliver it to his beloved. It is an oath that sends him over the ancient wall and into a world that is dangerous and strange beyond imagining . . . The Ocean at the End of the Lane This is what he remembers, as he sits by the ocean at the end of the lane: A dead man on the back seat of the car, and warm milk at the farmhouse. An ancient little girl, and an old woman who saw the moon being made. A beautiful housekeeper with a monstrous smile. And dark forces woken that were best left undisturbed. They are memories hard to believe, waiting at the edges of things. The recollections of a man who thought he was lost but is now, perhaps, remembering a time when he was saved . . .
