The centuries-old Shadow Summoner who created the Fold and leads the Second Army under a borrowed name. He offers Alina eternity with one hand and a collar with the other, and fandom has argued about him ever since.
Nikolai Lantsov
5k works
Ravka's too-clever prince, who moonlights as the privateer Sturmhond with a flying ship and a quip for every crisis. Beneath the charm: a bastard's insecurity and, later, a literal demon under his skin.
Zoya Nazyalensky

The Squaller general with a storm in her veins and a dragon in her bloodline, who armored her grief in beauty and spite. Zoya's slow thaw opposite King Nikolai in the duology made Zoyalai the Grishaverse's adult ship of choice.
