What Will Happen in Shadow and Bone Season 2?

Netflix

Shadow and Bone is based on the best-selling books by Leigh Bardugo. The series follows orphaned Alina Starkov, who discovers that she has the rare power to manipulate sunlight and possibly destroy the tangible band of darkness, known as the fold, that divides her country in two. Train under the enigmatic General Kirigan and learn more about his own powers and the history of his country. But surprise! Kirigan is actually the evil Darkling who wants to use the Fold to bring Ravka into a new era. The first season ended with Kirigan seemingly dead…but sexy and disturbing villains never stay dead for long.

In Season 2, Alina is on the run. A beacon of hope to some and a suspected traitor to others, she’s determined to bring down the Shadow Fold and save Ravka from ruin. But General Kirigan has returned to finish what he started. Backed by a terrifying new army of seemingly indestructible shadow monsters and fearsome new Grisha recruits, Kirigan is more dangerous than ever.

To stand a fighting chance against him, Alina and Mal rally their own powerful new allies and begin a continent-spanning journey to find two mythical creatures that will amplify her powers.

Back in Ketterdam, the Crows must forge new alliances as they contend with old rivals and even older grudges that threaten not only their place in the Barrel, but their very lives. When a chance at a deadly heist comes their way, the Crows will once again find themselves on a collision course with the legendary Sun Summoner.
