The Darkling tricked Alina into working with him under the guise that they would destroy The Fold together, but then his mother revealed to Alina that the Darkling was the Black Heretic and he intended to put an amplifier on Alina that would give him the ability to control her powers so that he could extend The Fold and use it as a weapon to rule the world. They had both been members of the king’s army, but when they had crossed The Fold, a sea of darkness created by the Black Heretic, Alina had discovered her hidden powers and the whole world realized she was the long-awaited sun-summoner. Alina grew up with Mal in an orphanage, but they had fallen in love during the last novel. In the first chapter, the narration switches and Alina begins to narrate in the first-person past. Alina and Mal, who had just escaped Ravka and the Darkling, took a ship to Novyi Zem, where they hoped they could be safe. The novel begins with a prologue that is narrated in the third-person past.
