King of Scars

"King of Scars” er første bog i Leigh Bardugos nye serie, der er en spin-off-roman til Grisha-trilogien. I "King of Scars” møder vi Nikolai Lantsov, der altid har haft en forkærlighed for det umulige. Ingen er klar over, hvad han måtte udholde under borgerkrigen i hjemlandet, og han har ingen planer om at fortælle nogen om det. Efterhånden som hans fjender trænger ind på hans territorie, skal den unge konge overveje hvert et træk, og samtidig finde en måde at forme nye alliancer på og stoppe den store trussel, der er mod den engang så mægtige Grisha-hær. Men for hver dag vokser den mørke magi indeni ham større og stærkere, og den truer med at ødelægge alt omkring ham. Med hjælp fra en ung munk og en legendarisk Grisha Squaller rejser Nikolai til de magiske steder i Ravka, i håb om at overvinde det mørke, der raserer indeni ham. Han er villig til at risikere hele sit livsgrundlag for at redde sig selv og sit land. Men nogle hemmeligheder skal ikke undertrykkes, og nogle sår skal ikke hele. Leigh Bardugo står bag adskillige anmelderroste romaner, bl.a. Grisha-trilogien.
