What is the plot of 'Shadow and Bone' Season 2?
Bardugo's tale is set in a world modeled on early 19th century Tsarist Russia, with about half of the population being Grisha, or individuals with an ability to influence the elements in various ways, such as fighting, healing, or creating. The plot revolves around a little orphan girl who grows up with just her best buddy for company. When they both wind up in the regular army, she as a mapmaker and him as a tracer, she would go to any length to be with him, even if it means entering the Shadow Fold, a vast stretch of darkness that divides the kingdom in two.
Everyone who enters the Shadow Fold risks meeting deadly, murderous monsters, and there appears to be no way to eliminate them other than the Sun Summoner, a predicted Grisha. As the girl discovers her closest friend is in grave danger, an enormous power she never realized she possessed erupts from within her, causing everyone in the kingdom and beyond to think she is the savior destined to conquer the Shadow Fold once and for all.
