Book description
King of Scars burns with the fury of a king who's already dead inside.
Leigh Bardugo doesn't write heroes-she writes survivors, and Nikolai Lantsov is survival incarnate. This isn't the triumphant return of a war hero; it's the desperate gambit of a man hemorrhaging power while the world demands miracles. Every page crackles with the tension between what Ravka needs and what's consuming Nikolai from within.
The audiobook format amplifies every raw edge. You don't just read about Nikolai's internal war-you hear it in the spaces between his words, in the weight he carries with each breath. Bardugo strips away the myth of the fearless leader and reveals something far more dangerous: a king who's already made peace with his own destruction.
What unfolds isn't redemption-it's reckoning. Nikolai's journey into Ravka's darkest corners isn't about healing old wounds; it's about deciding which demons to feed and which to bury deeper. The real horror isn't the magic threatening to destroy him-it's the very real possibility that the boy who became king died long before the civil war ended.
Bardugo understands that power doesn't corrupt-it reveals. Every alliance Nikolai forges, every coin he squeezes from dried-out coffers, comes at a cost that's already been paid in blood he can't remember spilling. The Grisha universe has never felt more precarious, more raw.
This isn't fantasy as escape-it's fantasy as exorcism.
