Discover the origin story of the Darkling in this full-cast, first-ever Grishaverse graphic audiobook.
Before he led Ravka’s Second Army, before he created the Fold, and long before he became the Darkling, he was just a lonely boy burdened by an extraordinary power.
Eryk and his mother, Lena, have spent their lives on the run. But they will never find a safe haven. They are not only Grisha—they are the deadliest and rarest of their kind. Feared by those who wish to destroy them and hunted by those who would exploit their gifts, they must hide their true abilities wherever they go. But sometimes deadly secrets have a way of revealing themselves.
A Macmillan Audio production.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Excellent Reading Actors”
As you listen to this story it is easy to be playing it like a movie in your imagination. The readers not only read but there are added sounds like climbing or horses running that fits what is happening in the story. I will be listening to this more than once as it was very insightful into the development of the Darkling from the Greisha universe.— Sarah T, Audible listener
4/5 stars — “A small glimpse into the darkling’s history”
I always love new content for the Grishaverse! The story was well told and gave a small glimpse into the darkling’s history. I really wish it was longer to provide time for more character development and adventure.— Audible customer, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Super fun!”
This was a very creative little drama that I throughly enjoyed (though I wish it was longer). I’m not sure it would be worth the price but I do think it’s worth a credit if you have a membership. Ben Barns kills it!— Leigha M Shaw, Audible listener
