Summary
Alina Starkov knows what it is to lose. She has lost her home. She has lost people she loves. And when she discovers the strange power kept dormant inside of her since childhood, her life is ripped from her again. Now she is a Grisha. Now she is something unique to be used by whoever can get their hands on her first. Shu, Fjerdans, Kerch traders-she learns to see them all as enemies as she fights to survive.
Then she meets the Darkling, the powerful and handsome Grisha in charge of the second army. A man she swears she has seen before in passing hallucinations. He has spent years searching for her since the first rumors of a girl who shone like a star rose from Keramzin, and now he has found her.
Alina is not naïve. She knows this man wants something from her like all of these others. But still, she cannot help but be drawn to him.

Summary
**Previously: Moth to a Light, No Flame**
Aleksander was sure that with a pet sun summoner at his side, equipped with all 3 of Morozova's amplifiers, he'd be able to safely enter the fold and carry out his long awaited plans.
But, while the Volcra shied away at first, it wasn't long before one of them got close enough to realise the light wasn't actually harmful to them and attacked.
It's a humiliating retreat which several diplomats, his top Grisha and everyone in both Kribirsk and Novokribirsk witnessed first hand. They all quickly put 2 and 2 together and realise that if an untrained sun summoner riddled with wasting sickness was able to instinctively destroy a hoard of Volcra while injured, then she is either infinitely more powerful or their Fjerdan saint isn't what she says she is.
Now, with his reputation in ruins, Aleksander's only hope of making up for his mistake is to get Alina back on his side- this time without Morozova's amplifiers as a backup
