Summary

Alina and Mal are trying to make their way in the New World . . . but it's not easy. Alina has to hide her true nature, and neither of them can quite forget the past. When the Darkling shows up again, with new and terrifying powers, it's like something out of a nightmare. Soon they're caught up in a whirlwind search for another amplifier, the elusive sea whip. But once they find it, can they keep it out of the Darkling's hands? And can they trust Sturmhond, the privateer who is so mysteriously intent on helping them? Alina finally returns to Ravka to lead the Grisha against the Darkling. But as she sits where the Darkling once sat, sleeps where he slept, and leads the very people he once led, she finds herself wondering if she isn't playing right into his hands, after all.
