Most of them did get away unfortunately however the tracker did not and he was the only one that mattered. She thinks that her friends were not captured. And perhaps she would be able to hold out that long, her sheer will to survive has never ceased to amaze him, however, she hasn’t seen all of his cards. Without her, he was nothing, a fact that pained him to his core.Īlina thought that she was going to spend eternity in that dark cell, that she would be able to hold out forever and never take him up on the promise of leaving the cell for a better life. The people of Ravka would never be able to follow him, they needed to see her and know that she was just as involved in all the decisions being made.

Although he despised it, he knew that he needed her to rule, so she balanced him out. Still, he needed Alina to come to the surface, he needed to stage a rescue mission and show the country that their saint was alive and well and ready to come home to Ravka. The lie not only invoked fear in the country about what would happen without a strong ruler if the Fjerdans were to invade but it also allowed him to escalate the situation military-wise, something that he had wanted to do for a long time. That was where the country believed she was, they believed that the sun summoner was being held captive by the country that hates Grisha the most. It’s always the same conversation over and over again and he’s growing quite tired of it.Įarly on in her disappearance, he had told Ravka that the Germans had captured her. Every day he went down the cellar to offer Alina a clear-cut way out and yet she never agrees.

It’s been 364 days since Sankta Alina had disappeared from the small town of Cofton and Ravka was growing restless wondering where she was.
