The Grisha series by Leigh Bardugo consists of three books published between 2001 and 2014 and is set in the fictional nation of Ravka. The series follows Alina Starkov, an orphan who discovers she possesses the rare ability to summon light, identifying her as a Grisha, a person with magical abilities. This power makes her the Sun Summoner, and the narrative explores her experiences as she comes to terms with her identity and the responsibilities that accompany her gift. The story delves into her journey through political intrigue, personal loss, and the weight of her power, as well as her internal struggles and the complex relationships that shape her path. The series is part of the larger Grishaverse, a fantasy setting that includes other works by the author.
