About the Author
Leigh Bardugo builds fantasy worlds around power, trauma, loyalty, and survival. Her Grishaverse novels gave readers a magic system with political weight, while Six of Crows became a modern fantasy favorite for its found family, criminal plotting, and wounded characters. In her adult books, Bardugo turns toward academia, occult power, and the darker costs of privilege.
Where to Start
Start with Six of Crows if you want Bardugo at her most addictive: a heist, a ruthless city, and characters whose loyalty is as dangerous as their ambition. Start with Shadow and Bone if you prefer reading the Grishaverse from the beginning.
