In this she is the counterpart of the de facto ruler of the nation of Ravka, the Darkling, who can summon darkness. When they are older and serving in the army together, Alina inadvertently discovers she has Grisha powers as a summoner, but unlike other summoners, she, uniquely, can call up sunlight. In the first book, Shadow and Bone, we meet our two main protagonists, Alina and Mal, who grew up as orphans in the same house. Materialki are fabricators who work with textiles, chemicals, or metals. Corporalki can stop hearts, heal the wounded, or change a person’s appearance. Etherealki can summon elements of nature to raise winds or create tides or fires. This world includes a subset of people called Grisha, who are born with rare abilities to manipulate matter at its most fundamental levels. These three books, Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising, which should be read together in order, make up a young adult fantasy series set in the fictional country of Ravka, a place resembling Russia. Note: Spoilers for the first fwo books in the series.
