Shadow and Bone Books
Your Guide to Reading the Grishaverse
Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse spans multiple series, each interconnected and each offering a different perspective on this rich fantasy world. Whether you are a new reader or a devoted fan, this guide will help you navigate the complete collection of Grishaverse literature.
The Shadow and Bone Trilogy
Shadow and Bone (2012), Siege and Storm (2013), and Ruin and Rising (2014) form the foundation of the Grishaverse. Following orphan cartographer Alina Starkov as she discovers her power as a Sun Summoner, the trilogy introduces Ravka, the Grisha, and the Darkling in an epic tale of light versus darkness.
The Six of Crows Duology
Six of Crows (2015) and Crooked Kingdom (2016) shift to Ketterdam and follow Kaz Brekker's crew on an impossible heist. Widely considered Bardugo's finest work, these books combine thrilling action with deeply personal character arcs.
King of Scars Duology and Beyond
King of Scars (2019) and Rule of Wolves (2021) continue the story of Ravka under Nikolai Lantsov's rule. The standalone The Language of Thorns offers fairy tales from the Grishaverse world.
