Summary
She had two options. Run away and hope that Aleksander... that the Darkling wouldn't catch her, that by some miracle she would manage to stay out of the reach of his shadows. Or stay, wait, observe. Become his equal, someone he'll really have to reckon with. She chooses the latter.
She's tired of others controlling her life. She was Alina Starkov. She was Grisha. The Sun Summoner. A Saint. She's going to make them reckon with her.And along the way she'll try not to give the rest of her stupid heart to the Black Heretic. The only question is how long she can play this game without risking her feelings for him re-blooming in the glare of her sunlight and the darkness of his shadows.
"Don’t underestimate the allure of darkness. Even the purest hearts are drawn to it."
~ Niklaus Mikaelson from TVD -

Summary
One night when sleep is not coming and loneliness seems to be swallowing him, Aleksander decides to walk around the camp to distract himself. On the way, he ends up finding something that piques his curiosity: a woman, drawing alone, completely lost in her thoughts, with tears falling on the paper.
His curiosity makes him return there every day for a week to see the girl, who also seems to be being swallowed by loneliness.
He knows it's a bad idea, she's an Otkazat'sya, fragile, mortal, sick... and she's his light, he'll let her light him, and maybe he can light her in return.

Summary
"I'm the Sun Summoner. It gets dark when I say it does." - Alina Starkova, Ruin and Rising
Alina, pushed out from the one place Grisha are safe by the appearance of Svetlana, decides that no one, not even the Darkling, will control her. Escaping was easy, and freedom tastes sweet. Staying gone, however? That has become far harder. With powerful enemies closing in, a crown of gold calls from the South.
Nikolai has found a Sun Summoner. She's wilful, ingenious and delightfully sarcastic and sassy. His favourite twins are almost obsessed with her, and his first mate Privyet enjoys her company. He's meant to return her to Ravka, to the Darkling and his other Sun Summoner. Yet, he doesn't.
Alexander doesn't panic as Alina slips through his grasp. He’s content with the other one, who adores her light, demure yet proud, and would eat out of his hand if he asked her too. He worries not as her power grows, until he realises her light is cold, and she can grow no stronger. The amplifiers do little, and she remains lesser, only able to summon light. Then he panics.

Summary
“I have devoted my life to undoing the great sin of my forebearer but I’m never seen as the solution, always as a reminder of the problem. They always need someone to blame.”
“Can you tell me any more about him?” Black eyes snap to hers. “Please.”
Instead of just flirting at the fountain, Alina starts asking questions. The Darkling is forced to reassess his plans and the Sun Summoner starts forging her own...
"Every time we gaze through a window, or set foot on a sandy beach, we are interacting with material made by exploding stars that burned millions of years ago."1
"Obsidian is a volcanic glass...hard, brittle, and amorphous; it therefore fractures with sharp edges."2

Summary
Lidiya Lansov has spent her life hidden in the shadows of the Ravkan court, a royal secret with no crown and no claim. But when her long-dormant Grisha power is discovered, she is thrust into a world of gold-stitched keftas and deadly politics, where monsters lurk in both the dark and the light.
Now a prized weapon of the Second Army, Lidiya is expected to serve the kingdom that never wanted her. But she is no obedient pawn. In a court of liars and a war built on whispers, she carves her own path- one of manipulation, power, and careful alliances.
The enigmatic General Kirigan sees her as a tool to wield, a piece in his grand game. She sees him for what he is- a dangerous man with secrets as deep as the Fold itself. Their battle of wills is ruthless, their attraction a sharp-edged thing neither dares to name.
But the more she plays the game, the more she realizes she is not the only one wearing a mask. Loyalties shift, enemies walk in silken robes, and those she trusts may be the ones to destroy her.
In a world poised on the brink of ruin, Lidiya must decide: will she be a queen of ashes, or will she forge an empire of gold?

Summary
"How old are you, Aleksander?" Alina's voice is barely a whisper, her words soft, careful. But she sees the stillness return to Aleksander as soon as they leave her lips, halting his every movement so sharply it makes it look like he flinches—maybe he actually does flinch, she isn't entirely sure.
"Alina—" his voice is tight, strained, and Alina shakes her head as she cuts him off.
"The truth, please, Aleksander," she murmurs, her voice still quiet, but firmer now. This time, his brow furrows as he looks at her, eyes narrowing.
"You've clearly already heard—"
"I want to hear it from you,"

Summary
"His gaze kept flickering to her before turning back to the looming city, and she knew he wanted to ask his questions. He liked asking her questions, something she wasn’t used to, but she was tight lipped as to why they were here. She wouldn’t give him so much as a name. Not even Morozova could pry her apart, no, this secret she kept to her chest. Her Saint was in trouble."
(or, the one in which Kaz and Alina wreak havoc on the streets of Ketterdam in chase of one piece of cloth.)
