Alina Starkov

Character from Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

The Sun Summoner who destroyed the Shadow Fold and lost her powers doing it — an orphan mapmaker who became a saint, a weapon, and then chose to be ordinary again.

Also known as: Sun Summoner, Sankta Alina, Sol Koroleva, the Saint

What They Know

• Sun Summoner — the only Grisha who can create and control light, capable of destroying the Shadow Fold
• Used all three of Morozova's amplifiers (stag collar, sea whip fetter, firebird) simultaneously to destroy the Fold
• Lost her Grisha powers after channeling the amplifiers — now lives as an ordinary person
• Suppressed her powers unconsciously throughout childhood to stay near Mal — his amplifier nature masked her abilities
• Runs the Keramzin orphanage with Mal after faking her death
• Worshipped as Sankta Alina by a growing religious cult — the Apparat promotes her sainthood
• The Darkling placed Morozova's collar on her to control her power — she broke free by embracing the other amplifiers
• Her power created new Sun Summoners when she channeled it through the battlefield — the ability spread to otkazat'sya
