King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo (7/10)

When people say ‘you have to face your demons’, they don’t usually mean literally. Unfortunately for Nikolai Lantsov, his case is different. Still plagued by the demon the Darkling sent to possess him, he searches in vain for a cure. Zoya spent the first half of her life as a doll, a pretty girl who would make a pretty bride. She spent the next chapter of her life as a soldier, someone whose hard work paid off, who had risen in the ranks of the Darkling’s army. Then, she spent her life as a loyal supporter of the Sun Summoner, ready to fight the Darkling, and all that he stood for. When the war ended, she found herself playing the part of a General, a leader, feared and revered. She has nothing to be afraid of. So why is she still scared?
