    Summary

    All she’s ever really wanted was a home, a place to belong with people who loved and cared about her. She wasn’t one of the lucky ones, no one was ever going to just give it to her. It was something she had to build and then defend on her own.

    Summary

    Whenever she listened, there was silence. Whenever she reached, there was nothingness. Whenever she called, there was no answer.
    Everything was just like it was supposed to be.

     

    In the protective shade of Keramzin, Alina hopes to raise her child in tranquillity, far away from injury and dread. But peace is a fickle thing and as the years pass, Alina is forced to confront reality. Home doesn't have to be a place. War is always but a stone's throw away. And when the time comes for Ravka's people to lower their heads, beseeching a dead Saint for salvation, Alina must make a choice. Will she stand by a fallen country or will she watch as blessed soil is slowly swallowed by shadows once again?

    Summary

    “This is why, you know” he starts.
    “Why, what?”
    “Why I chose her. She wouldn’t do something like this. She was the better bet.”
    Maybe it’s the weight of what was happening finally catching up, or the suffocating numbness she can feel spreading at his words, but Alina laughs. A cackling, getting tickled in sensitive spots, laughing so hard her abdomen hurts, kind of laugh. The confused expression on the General’s face makes her laugh even more; he obviously wasn’t expecting this type of reaction.
    Alina finally settles down, wiping tears from her eyes. She’s still giggling by the time she responds, “If imprisonment is the consequence of not choosing to be a pawn in whatever twisted game of chess you’re playing, then please point me towards the dungeons and I’ll shackle myself.”

    No one could accuse her of not trying. Alina had been content to live out the rest of her miserable, life in semi-comfortable exile, but the world seemed determine to burn her into ashes. Silly of it, really. Phoenixes were always reborn.
