Siege and Storm, the second novel in Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone trilogy, follows Sun Summoner Alina Starkov, a young woman with unique magical power who is hunted across the True Sea after the events of the first book. As the Darkling plots to steal her magic to seize the Ravkan throne, Alina teams up with an infamous privateer to lead the Grisha army against him, even as she becomes entangled in his schemes involving forbidden magic. Faced with the impossible choice between her growing power and the love of her companion Mal, Alina learns that saving her country will demand great personal sacrifice as she prepares to confront the looming oncoming storm.
