Shadow and Bone Season 1-2 – What Do We Know Till Now
In the first season of the show, we follow the story of Alina Starkov, a cartographer who has lost both her parents. She soon discovers that she is a Grisha, possessing great powers as a sun summoner. With her unique abilities, she is the only one who can destroy the shadow fold, which is dividing the Ravka nation. Alina’s closest friend is an orphan named Mal Malyen “Mal” Oretsev, who grew up with her and is also in love with her.
Throughout the season, we see Alina fighting against General Kirigan, the leader of the Second Army, also known as the Darkling. He is a shadow summoner who created the Shadow Fold. We also meet other characters, such as Baghra, who trains young Grischa, and Nina Zenik, a heartbreaker who is captured by Matthias Helvar and his team of Fjerdan hunters called Drüskelle. Additionally, we follow the story of Kaz Brekker, also known as the “Bastard of the Barrel.” He is the leader of the Crow Club in Kerch, whose members include the secretive Inej Ghafa and the funny Jesper Fahey.
Shadow and Bone Season 2- Anticipated Plot
Alina is a figure of hope for some, but others suspect her of treachery. Her goal is to defeat the Shadow Fold and save Ravka from destruction. However, General Kirigan has a frightening new army of shadow creatures and powerful Grisha recruits on his side. Even scars on his face cannot slow down this Darkling’s wrath. To stand a chance against him, Alina and Mal must gather allies and embark on a journey across the continent to find two legendary creatures that will amplify her powers.
According to co-showrunner and executive producer Eric Heisserer, Season 2 is exciting because it continues the story of characters in peril from the end of Season 1. There is plenty of growth potential this season, as the characters must face the consequences of their actions and meet new people. The Grishaverse also expands with a new mythology and characters in this season.
