這將為她開啟光明的前景、或是永劫的地獄?
拉夫卡王國的西側被一道恐怖的黑幕隔絕。
數百年前,闇主製造了黑幕,卻無法有效控制,
潛伏著可怕怪物的黑幕吞噬了土地、隔絕了外界,
強行穿越黑幕的時候,總會有人犧牲。
就連身負異能的格里莎戰士們,都沒有破解之道。
瘦小的阿麗娜在軍團裡負責繪製地圖,
和她一起在孤兒院長大的瑪爾,則是軍團裡最迷人也最厲害的追蹤手。
他們的軍團隨著格里莎穿越黑幕的時候遭到怪物攻擊,
在生死存亡的一刻,阿麗娜的體內衝出一股力量,
霎時間,光芒迸現,逼退了黑暗裡的魔物。
召喚陽光,正是破除黑幕的關鍵能力。
阿麗娜證明自己應該是個格里莎,於是被召進宮廷,
開始學習如何使用自己的能力。
躋身特權階級,對孤兒阿麗娜而言是美夢成真,
但這表示:阿麗娜不只得要離開青梅竹馬的瑪爾,
進入宮廷後,還得面對長相俊美、手掌大權的這一代闇主。
和瑪爾斷了聯繫、闇主極度重視阿麗娜,
阿麗娜不確定自己為什麼沒法子好好運用自己的力量,
也不確定怎麼面對自己似乎悄悄改變的情感與欲望……
阿麗娜的天賦為什麼沒被及早發掘?
闇主的計劃裡,是否藏著其他陰謀?
瑪爾被指派的新任務,可能完成嗎?
有能力召喚陽光,
是否就有能力決定自己的方向?

Enter the Grishaverse with book one of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy, coming soon to Netflix as an original series. This edition features exclusive cover art from the show!
Soldier. Summoner. Saint. Orphaned and expendable, Alina Starkov is a soldier who knows she may not survive her first trek across the Shadow Fold―a swath of unnatural darkness crawling with monsters. But when her regiment is attacked, Alina unleashes dormant magic not even she knew she possessed.
Now Alina will enter a lavish world of royalty and intrigue as she trains with the Grisha, her country’s magical military elite―and falls under the spell of their notorious leader, the Darkling. He believes Alina can summon a force capable of destroying the Shadow Fold and reuniting their war-ravaged country, but only if she can master her untamed gift.
As the threat to the kingdom mounts and Alina unlocks the secrets of her past, she will make a dangerous discovery that could threaten all she loves and the very future of a nation.
Welcome to Ravka . . . a world of science and superstition where nothing is what it seems.
