Bara några få personer känner till vad Ravkas unge kung Nikolai fick utstå under landets blodiga inbördeskrig, och konsekvenserna det fick -- en mörk magi som växer sig allt starkare inom honom. Nikolai försöker till varje pris hålla det hemligt, samtidigt som Ravkas fiender agerar mer och mer hotfullt och det blir allt svårare för Nikolai att bygga upp riket igen. Till slut måste han bege sig djupt in i Ravka, till platser där magin fortfarande är stark, för att en gång för alla hitta ett sätt att bli botad innan mörkret slukar honom. Skuggan av en kung är första delen i en ny duologi som utspelar sig i ett universum där allt kretsar kring den magiska Grisha-ordern. Förutom Nikolai får vi även möta den vackra och mäktiga generalen Zoya, och Nina, en grisha på uppdrag i fiendeland, som också sörjer sin älskades död.

Går knappt att sluta läsa.« Bokkoll Galaxy»Alex« Stern växte upp i utkanten av Los Angeles med sin hippiemamma, upptäckte tidigt att hon hade en förmåga att se övernaturliga väsen, hoppade av grundskolan utan fullständiga betyg och trädde in i en skum värld av droger och missbruk. Tjugo år gammal, som enda överlevande efter ett blodigt morddrama, får hon vid sjukhussängen plötsligt en andra chans: Att börja studera vid Yale, ett av världens mest prestigefulla elituniversitet, med alla avgifter betalda. Men vad är haken? Varför just hon? När Alex anländer till Yale får hon i uppgift att bli övervakare av universitetets åtta hemliga sällskap och deras egendomliga ritualer, en uppgift som ett av sällskapen, Lethe, ansvarar för. Tanken är att Alex ska bli upplärd av sin handledare, Darlington. Men när en ung kvinna hittas död på universitetsområdet samma kväll som sällskapen utför sina magiska ritualer har Darlington försvunnit i ett mörkt hål, och Alex står ensam kvar. Hon är övertygad om att det finns ett samband mellan mordet och de hemliga sällskapen. För hon vet nu att de ägnar sig åt långt märkligare och mer skrämmande saker än vad någon kunnat föreställa sig... I svensk översättning av Sabina Söderlund.
