▶ EDITION #1 of the Alternative Cover
The capital is now lower.
Ravka is ruled by the Darkling from his shadow throne.
A broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the broken ruins of a once-mighty magical army now determine the destiny of the country.
A frail Alina is forced to surrender to the questionable protection of the Apparat and the fanatics who revere her as a saint deep inside an old network of tunnels and caves. Yet her plans lie elsewhere, with the hunt for the elusive firebird and the hope that an outlaw prince still survives.
Alina will have to forge new alliances and put aside old rivalries as she and Mal race to find the last of Morozova's amplifiers. However, when she delves into the Darkling's background, she uncovers truths that will permanently change the way she perceives their relationship and the power she has. The only thing between Ravka from annihilation is the firebird, and claiming it might cost Alina the very future she is fighting for.
