Free Audiobook : Ruin and Rising, by Leigh Bardugo

Leigh Bardugo’s Ruin and Rising finds Alina Starkov at her lowest, hiding underground after the Darkling’s latest blow left Ravka in ruins. She’s battered, her power flickering, but the fight’s far from over. With Mal and a ragtag crew of allies, she’s chasing a wild hope, the firebird, a mythical creature that might be the key to taking down the Darkling and his shadow army once and for all.

Ravka’s a wreck, and the Darkling’s grip is tightening, his darkness spreading like a plague. Alina’s got to rally what’s left of her strength and face tough calls, with old friends and new faces pushing her toward a showdown that feels inevitable. Bardugo keeps the stakes sky-high, weaving a mix of desperation and defiance that makes every moment crackle with tension.

This audiobook is the grand finale to Alina’s journey, a raw, emotional ride through a world on the brink. Ruin and Rising delivers haunting vibes, fierce battles, and a question that lingers: what’s the cost of winning? It’s a gripping end to the trilogy, perfect for anyone who’s been with Alina since the start or just wants to jump into the thick of it.
