Darkness never dies.
Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can’t outrun her past or her destiny for long.
The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling’s game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her–or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.

My teaser:
Mal frowned. "No, they sounded pretty much like they always do. Like monsters who want to eat us." He laid his hand over mine. "What happened, Alina?"
I saw him. "I told you: I was tired. I lost focus."
He drew back. "If you want to lie to me, go ahead. But I'm not going to pretend to believe you."
"Why not?" asked Sturmhond, stepping into the tent. "It's only common courtesy."

I only read your teaser and not the description because I'm afraid to spoiler myself for book one... which I still haven't read >.< I love that last guy's comment though ^^
ReplyDeleteI really hope I can get a copy of book one soon, but I've made myself stop buying print books until I've found a new apartment and moved. I have nightmares thinking about packing my books as it is...
