Shadow and Bone series
Have you ever wondered why so many fantasy worlds are based on England? Well, this one takes place in an alternate Czarist Russia, split by the Shadowfold, a swathe of darkness diving the country and infested by supernatural flesh-eating monsters. Military forces and magicians known as the Grisha work together. Much to her surprise, Alina Starkov, a war orphan raised by the State, discovers her own extraordinary ability to control the forces of light…and to protect her childhood friend, a tracker and soldier. We feel sure Diana would approve.
