The so-called Volcra monsters are in charge of expeditions.

The leader of Garisha created Volcra, who lives in the Unsea. When both friends are marching, Volcra attacks them. During the struggle to save her friend, Alina shows extraordinary Garisha talent. Garishas are people who have an extraordinary talent for elements in such a way that they can use them as weapons. Such as they can call fire, summon wind, and even stop hearts. Similarly, Alina can summon light.

Does Darkling love Alina truly or not?

Darkling is the leader of Garisha. He takes Alina to the capital, Os Alta. He tells her that her power is unique and valuable. Because of her power, she can be an assassination target for the enemies of Ravka. So, she tries to fit in with other Garisha. Soon, she feels confident in her abilities after rigorous training.

During her two-week flight, she is almost captured but saved by her friend Mal with the help of his supernatural ability.

The stag Antlers’ Necklace Amplified Alina’s Grisha Power

Alina and Mal make a plan to hunt a stag in the Far North. The concept behind hunting is to kill and make a necklace of its antlers. These antlers would help Alina to amplify her power. After a great struggle, they find it, and Alina and Mal realize that they love each other. Now Alina refuses to kill it. On the other hand, Darkling and his minions reach there. Darkling, who wants to enslave Alina, kills the stag and forces Alina to put on antler necklace. So she becomes his absolute slave and cannot disobey him in the slightest.

All of them return to the south, to the major crossing point of the Unsea. Darkling directs Alina by force to protect the ship. On the other side, Darkling enlarges the Unsea for its great death and destruction. In the ending, Darkling throws Mal into the sea, and the Monsters devours him.

Alina feels desperate and her act of mercy and sparing the stag gives her the chance to get free from the Darkling’s enslavement. Alina’s love for her friend Mal gives her the strength she needs.
