About this book

Ruin and Rising With the capital fallen and darkness closing in, Alina must navigate impossible choices between survival and sacrifice as she hunts for the power to save her fractured nation. Hiding in ancient depths while hunted by those who would use her, she's forced to question everything she thought she knew about her magic, her enemies, and the bonds that tie her to the most dangerous person in Ravka. The stakes have never been higher as Alina races to uncover secrets that could change everything—but victory might demand a cost she's not prepared to pay. This is the explosive finale that will leave you emotionally devastated and absolutely unable to put it down.
