![]() ![]() That monster still lived inside him - quiet for a while, but always there. When the Darkling died, Nikolai turned back into a human and thought everything was fine. Enslaved and tortured during his battles with the Darkling Prince (ex-Big Bad of Bardugo's 'verse, long-lived and, at the moment, very much dead), Nikolai was an actual monster once the Darkling turned him into a kind of flying vampire bat-thing with a taste for human flesh. He is young, witty, handsome, damaged - everything you want in a hero. Specifically, it is about Nikolai Lantsov, king of Ravka, former soldier, former pirate and privateer (known occasionally as Sturmhond), former bright star of Bardugo's other books. King of Scars, the latest from Leigh Bardugo and her Grishaverse, is a story all about monstrousness - about the regrets, the resentments, the terrible things that live inside everyone and what happens when those things come out to play. Inside, there's a monster waiting for him. It begins with a simple farm boy, youngest of a crop of brothers, sent out into the storm to close a barn door that has blown open in the wind.
