The entire Grishaverse starts with this book. Here, we meet a young mapmaker named Alina Starkov and her best friend, Malyen Oretsev. We quickly learn that Alina is no ordinary cartographer, but a Grisha, a human capable of superhero-like power. And she's not just any Grisha, she's the Sun Summoner—ostensibly capable of destroying the Shadow Fold.
