   Alina hears Baghra's warning, but despite her fear, decides to stay. A disgruntled Baghra attacks the girl, but the Darkling appears at the last moment and saves her. Alina pretends not to know the Darkling's secret and goes in search of the stag with him, determined to kill the stag herself at all costs. However, before the amplifier can close around her neck, the squad is attacked by drüskelle and Alina is kidnapped. In captivity, the girl must learn what it really means to be Grisha.
