There's nothing wrong with being a Lizard either, unless you were born to be a Hawk.  AUTHOR: Leigh Bardugo SYNOPSIS:   Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh.
