![]() Otherwise, Matthias is probably stuck in jail for a little while longer. Since Nina seems set to be joining the Crows at the end of Shadow and Bone, it looks like this storyline will be playing out soon – if a possible season 2 jumps ahead to the events of the first Crow book, that is. Things aren't all rosy though – Matthias still has a lot of resentment toward Nina once the Crows spring him from Hellgate prison. The pair reunite in the first book in Bardugo's Six of Crows duology. ![]() Of course, we know Nina did that to save Matthias from the Grisha who'd come to retrieve her, but he wasn't all that receptive to her reasoning when she tried to explain it to him through the bars of his cell. Nina the Grisha and Matthias the witch-hunter appeared to be getting very close throughout the events of Shadow and Bone… until Nina falsely accused him of being a slaver, and got him locked up. Look away now if you don't want to see book spoilers, but the Crows have another big heist to keep them busy in their duology, and we could see that adapted in a potential season 2. In the books, he's a major antagonist – so expect to see him again, should a second season happen. The Crow Club will remain safely in Kaz's hands, then.īut what of Pekka Rollins, the brutish crime boss who threatens Kaz early in the season? It's not a stretch to assume he won't be happy with the Crows for trying to nab the reward for Alina, and he's most likely still got a big part to play in the future. "I swore you won't go back to the menagerie, and one of these gemstones covers it," Kaz tells Inej. It's clearly got a storied history, considering it was part of Ravka's royal jewelry box. Since they didn't manage to bring Alina back with them, is all hope for the Club – and Inej – lost? Not exactly.Īlina gave the trio a pretty impressive trinket in the final moments of episode 8 to buy their silence on her identity, which even Kaz seemed stunned by. What's next for the Crows?Įarly in the series, Kaz bargained with the Crow Club, exchanging Inej's freedom from the Menagerie for tagging along on their adventure to kidnap the Sun Summoner. He's now got some grisly scars across his face to show for his tussle with the Shadow Fold's inhabitants, though. It makes sense, then, that he was not only able to survive his encounter with the volcra, but also emerge from the darkness with a new, terrifying power. Kirigan was revealed to be the Black Heretic in the Netflix series, which means he's the one who created the Fold in the first place. That new power of his will likely turn out to be the one he has in the book: after surviving the Fold, he can manifest shadow creatures. In the second book in the Shadow and Bone trilogy, Kirigan is focused on getting to Alina. It's no surprise Alina and Mal think he's dead, all things considered – but the last moments of episode 8 reveal that Kirigan is alive, and has a whole new shadow ability. The Darkling's plan to use Alina's powers for his own gain went hugely wrong when the final episode saw him dragged away by the volcra, the gruesome winged creatures who haunt the Shadow Fold. The story also leads her back to Ravka, but Kirigan is intent on tracking her down – so expect to see another epic showdown in a potential season 2. It also turns out that there are another two of Morozova's special amplifiers in existence, which Alina needs if she's going to have a hope of defeating the Darkling. In the books, Alina and Mal essentially go into hiding, but they end up getting found pretty sharpish. Spoilers for the second novel, Siege and Storm, ahead. The problem is, Alina believes the Darkling to be dead… Except we know he's very much alive. Mal and Alina know that they need to be "ghosts" from then on, and the Sun Summoner is confident that, when she's ready, they'll return, and she'll destroy the Shadow Fold for good. In the final moments of episode 8, it's revealed that some people think the Sun Saint – that's Alina – is dead. Alina and Mal's fate is left wide open, so where could they be headed next? The Grisha Zoya also warns Alina that she can't stay in Ravka, since there will be people on her trail. But Alina has only just started learning about what it means to be the Sun Summoner, so she's not ready to tackle that swathe of shadow just yet. ![]() Just not today," Mal tells Alina, referring to the Shadow Fold, and her sunshine power's ability to blast it away.
