The Cursed Prince awoke the monsters.
Because of him, my friend is gone.
He will never take anything from me again.

Ori's plan for a simple life as a storyteller is shattered when her sleepy mountain village is attacked by an army of crow monsters.

They hunt all in their path and leave utter destruction in their wake. Worst of all, Ori's best friend, Akari, is snatched away.

But where are the crows taking her...

And why?

Before Ori can go after Akari, she learns she's been chosen by the spirits as humanity's new champion, destined to fight the Cursed Prince whose power fuels the crows. She's swept away to the royal palace to receive training to defeat him.

She's told to forget Akari, that her friend is as good as dead.

But some bonds can't be broken so easily.

With the help of her distractingly attractive guard, Ori must keep from being killed by the Cursed Prince who hunts her while figuring out how to save Akari before it's too late.

And if Ori must slay in order to protect...
... So be it.

Shadow and Bone meets Avatar: the Last Airbender in this breathtaking story of awakening magic, court intrigue, Asian mythology, and a slow-burn romance.
