   Summary

   Alina is betrothed to Nikolai on the Tsar’s passing whim. They’ve mutually agreed to dissolve it as soon as they can, except Nikolai seems to be having second thoughts. Things are further complicated by Alina’s affair with the Darkling, and their scheme to overthrow the Lantsovs once the stag has been found.
