Shadow and Bone

by Leigh Bardugo


Solid book, but it's more romance-driven than I prefer. It was set in a Russia-like place. That's one of the things that made it readable.

Publisher Description

Orphaned by the Border Wars, Alina Starkov is taken from obscurity and her only friend, Mal, to become the protegé of the mysterious Darkling, who trains her to join the magical elite in the belief that she is the Sun Summoner, who can destroy the monsters of the Fold.
