    Summary

    Thrity years after the Civil War ended and the death of both Mal and the Darkling. Alina has been struggling to move on and to let go of the memory of her loved ones. But mostly she had been struggling to let go of him. That is until she is presented with the chance to go back and change everything. Will she do it? And what will be the cost?

     

    "It took time for me to recover. To put the pain aside and stand again on my own two feet. When I did, I took his place as a protector of the Grisha. I rebuilt the Little Palace, exactly as it was. I took his place as a General, not of the Second or First Army, but of the only Ravkan Army.

    I claimed his color as my own. I slept in what had once been his quarters. His war room became my war room. His legacy became my legacy. I kept him alive in the memory of all Grisha, even though most wanted to forget he ever existed. But I refused to let him be remembered as a monster. I refused to let them forget all the good things he ever did. I refused to forget the dream that had been the cause of so many nightmares."

    Summary

    In one universe, the Black General crawls out of the Fold, bringing with him his Nichevo'ya. He stands and orders them to Follow. In this universe, Alina Starkova is everything to him, his light and hope and everything he'd ever wanted, and it is because of his own actions that he drove her away. In this universe, Alina Starkova is lost to him, angry and hating. He is broken.

    In another universe, the Darkling finds a second Sun Summoner, a Fjerdan woman with a biddable nature and an ease with her Light that makes her the perfect candidate for his plans. In this universe, Alina Starkova is useless to him, a too-weak distraction that he has no use for. In this Universe, Alina Starkova is lost to him, broken and worthless. He is triumphant.

    Funny, isn't it, how the universe conspires against one and rewards the other?
