The Attack and the Storm is the second book in the globally successful Shadow and Bone trilogy.
Alina flees across the True Sea, haunted by the ghosts of the lives she took in the Hollow. She tries to make a life for herself with Mal in an unknown land, unable to reveal that she is a sun summoner. She cannot hide from her past or her destiny for long. The Darkling has emerged from the Hollow with a terrifying new ability, threatening the rest of the world. Alina returns to the country she left behind, determined to stand against the forces that are gathering against Ravka.
The second book in the Shadow and Bone trilogy by popular American author Leigh Bardugo takes us even deeper into the world of Griševski Universe, which also features the two-part fantasy treat The Crows Six. To date, more than three million books from the Griševski Universe series have been sold, translated into more than 38 languages worldwide, and published in more than 40 countries. All five books have become New York Times bestsellers. The books have become even more popular after the broadcast of the Shadow and Bone series on Netflix. (quoted from emka.si)
