刷完第一季后我跑去把Shadow and Bone三部曲的前两部以及衍生书The Lives of Saints读了，目前还没有碰最后一部 Ruin and Rising 和Six of Crows两部曲。Ben读了有声书50%的部分，声音超有磁性
The Lives of Saints中有一个名为The Starless Saint的章节就是专门写the Darkling的，而且情节就发生在第一季最后一集Darkling把shadow fold向前扩张了一大截那里。
故事梗概就是住在Novokribirsk的悲催青年Yuri因家境贫穷被迫搬到他叔叔家住，整日承担苦力劳动还经常被他叔叔欺负。Yuri在空闲时间喜欢读书，一心相信圣人的存在。有一天Yuri因为沉进书里忘了时间，回家晚了耽误了给他叔叔做晚饭，被他叔叔揍得鼻青脸肿。第二天他挣扎地爬起来去码头工作，在路上被脑海中的声音建议停下步伐，就在这时shadow fold开始吞噬他眼前的一切，他隐约听到了他叔叔的惨叫，随后黑幕的扩张就停在了他脚前，于是他即刻相信是暗主在冥冥中保护弱者。That day, half of Novokribirsk was lost when the Darkling expanded the Fold. Many cursed the man responsible for this cruelty and celebrated his death when it finally came. But there are others who worship him still, the Starless One, patron saint of those who seek salvation in the dark.
一首是Isak Danielson的Power I still look at you with eyes that want you
When you move, you make my oceans move tooIf I hear my name, I will run your wayCan we say that we love each other
Can we play like there ain't no otherif I hear my name, I will run your wayIt's my desire that you feed
You know just what I needYou got power, you got power
You got power over me
另一首是Sam Tinnesz的Man or Monster When you close your eyes
What do you see?
Do you hold the light
Or is darkness underneath?
In your hands
There's a touch that can heal
But in those same hands
Is there the power to killAre you a man or a monster?
