The first season introduces Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li), a lowly army cartographer from Ravka, a country based loosely on Russia, who learns by accident that she possesses the rare magical ability to channel pure light, making her a powerful (and dangerous) Grisha. Shadow and Bone is Netflix's take on Leigh Bardugo's bestselling fantasy series, known as Grishaverse, and it's seriously magical.
