Leigh Bardugo King of Scars Book

Ravka is shrouded in bad weather and instability. And the young king, Nikolai Lantsov, is increasingly turning into a dangerous groundswarmer at night. General Zoya Nazialenski has witnessed the death of her mentor and the resurrection of her nemesis. Now all she lives for is protecting Gryshniks around the world, securing Ravka's throne, and saving Nicolai. But while Zoya desperately searches for a cure for her king's mysterious illness, the Grishniks find themselves under threat: their superpowers are being attempted to be turned into something dangerous by subjugating their wills with a powerful synthetic drug. Meanwhile, the dark magic within Nicolai grows perceptibly stronger. His only chance for salvation is to risk everything to save Ravka and himself. Nicolai's inner demon is menacing and powerful, scarred by centuries of triumphs. But there are scars that cannot heal, for they hide secret wounds of the past and secrets of entire worlds.
