Summary: Raised in a war-ravaged continent, temptation comes to Calla Caldwell in the form of a charming and mysterious stranger. Giving in to his intimate seduction, her world is forever changed by a single bite. Calla quickly learns the handsome stranger is vampire prince, Trystan Vladu. His bite was an attempt to claim and save her from a plot of vengeance generations in the making. However, the claws of that ancient vendetta are scraping ever closer. Thrust into a new nightmare by the Prince of the corrupt kingdom of Morbeth, Calla is captured, tortured, and starved in the dank confines of his dungeon. While in captivity, she takes part in a séance with a witch of light where she contacts a departed relative—a Princess of Incendia—who bequeaths a gift to Calla that will tip the scales of good and evil . . . if she can learn to harness it. With a dark tapestry of secrets, lies, and murder unraveling around her, Calla must learn to embrace the power roiling through her veins, or be snuffed out by the strangling fist of a malevolent darkness.

I managed to get through Shadow and Bone during March and really enjoyed it (full review here) and would like to get through the remainder of the books before the Netflix show drops on April 23rd. The show is combining the Shadow and Bone trilogy with Bardugo’s prequel duology of Six of Crows so I’m hoping to complete all of them so I’m able to fully enjoy the show when I watch it. Already now that I’ve read the first book, I can see scenes they’ve drawn from it for the trailer and am more hyped than before. The Grishaverse is a young adult fantasy series featuring some individuals who are able to manipulate matter and has tons of Russian-inspired influences.
