League of Legends. A game so widely known for their toxic community, but also for their wonderful worldbuilding and character creation. Anthony has definitely not disappointed the community with this amazing lore of how the Shadow Ilse has made its way into the League universe.

Kalista's character is from the first page on so likable and I find her the most well written character so far. Her decisions and delivering her views to others felt so natural, especially for me only knowing Kalista as an ingame raging massacre. I think I like Kalista much more than before.

The story is definitely something we, league players, have heard of but not full in detail. If you love lore, and leagues amazing world go and read this amazing book.

I hope there is more to come.
