Is Six Of Crows By Leigh Bardugo A Standalone?

I was always different from my brothers; always more sensitive and perceptive. I never knew if this was a gift from the Goddess or not, but my brother, Alpha Kai, used my sixth sense to his advantage and that's what helped raise our pack to infamy. But in the end, it would be that sixth sense which led to my demise - dead before I could even face my mate and his betrayal. My soft heart led to my death, and my trusting nature helped the enemy get ahead with their plans. So here I am, sifting through my memories in the Other and watching my family as they continue to live their lives without me. All the while wishing I could be there with them. **** This is a companion novel to the Bratva Wolves Novels and is not a standalone. Do not read this book if you have not read The Bratva Wolves Collection first.

She never knew monsters were real—until she signed on the dotted line. Hidden behind the power and brutality of the Bratva is an ancient bloodline of wolves. Feared by enemies and loyal only to their own, they live by one unbreakable law: protect the pack at any cost. He is one of their deadliest. Cold, ruthless, and born to command, the golden-eyed wolf has spent his life controlling the beast beneath his skin. But that control begins to fracture when he encounters a beautiful stranger who awakens something inside him—something primal, possessive, and impossible to deny. She has no knowledge of his violent world or the supernatural power sleeping within her. Yet the closer she gets to him, the more her body begins to change. Her senses sharpen. Her dreams become frighteningly real. And an unfamiliar force stirs inside her, waiting to be unleashed. She isn’t merely the woman destined to stand beside him. She may be the key to saving his entire bloodline. With their enemies closing in and her hidden power awakening, he must protect the mate he never expected—even if it means starting a war that leaves the Bratva drowning in blood. Because when a Bratva wolf finds his mate, he doesn’t let her go. He makes the world Shiver.

She has been killed six times. Always by the same hands. Always by the men fated to love her. Across six lifetimes and five shattered worlds, she dies the same death — not by strangers, not by enemies, but by the one soul the universe itself bound to hers. The Emotionless Emperor kills her on palace marble. The Strongest Under Heaven beheads her at a cliff's edge. The Star Emperor pierces her with starlight in a collapsing galaxy. The King of the Dead strangles her while weeping. The Dragon Monarch crushes her in hands that were meant to hold her. And in her sixth life, broken beyond grief, she simply stops breathing on her own. She wakes before the God of Destiny — and learns the truth that destroyed everything. The God grants her one final life. One world where all five powers exist. One chance to choose differently. She enters her seventh life with no intention of choosing anything — except survival. She is eighteen, razor-sharp, and carrying six lifetimes of grief behind serene eyes. When The Iron Sovereign, The Heavenly Saint, The Celestial Emperor, The Eclipse Pontiff, and The Crimson Dragon King all look at her across the same room for the first time, she already knows their faces from her nightmares. She doesn't run. She plans. But the universe has its own agenda. And the five men who murdered her across time are starting to remember. The question was never whether they would love her again. The question is whether love — and the people carrying it — can survive what it cost before.

She was never meant to survive their world. Now she’s the only one who can burn it down. Lyra thought she was just a girl with strange dreams and a birthmark that shimmered beneath moonlight. But when a celestial event rips her from Earth and drops her into the brutal halls of the Academy of the Ascendant, she discovers a deadly truth: she’s the lost heir of a realm that erased her bloodline—and she’s carrying the forbidden magic that could unravel it all. The Academy is ruled by power and hierarchy. The weak are crushed. The strong ascend. And the Triad—three elite heirs born of elemental fire, storm, and air—will do anything to break her. Until they realize she’s more powerful than all of them. Mocked. Hunted. Desired. As Lyra unlocks the four elemental affinities no student should possess, she becomes the center of a prophecy that the Council has killed to keep buried. But it’s the fifth element—the forbidden Void—that marks her for something more. Survival means mastering her magic. Love could cost her everything. And rebellion might just start with a kiss. Perfect for fans of Zodiac Academy, Throne of Glass, and The Cruel Prince, Marked by Starlight is the explosive first book in a dark fantasy romance series filled with elemental magic, enemies-to-lovers heat, and a heroine who refuses to bow.

Ivana Sokolov doesn't miss. Trained since childhood into the deadliest asset her agency owns, she's spent ten years burying every soft thing about herself so deep that even she forgot it was there. When she's sent to assassinate Alpha Alfonso Rocca, head of the most powerful syndicate in the eastern territories, it's supposed to be routine. Line up the shot, collect the paycheck, disappear. Instead, the mission changes mid-trigger and the price of refusing is her brother's life, a brother she buried four years ago and has just learned is very much alive. The catch: Alfonso doesn't want her dead. He wants her pregnant. Out of four thousand tested candidates, Ivana is the only biological match compatible enough to carry his heir and survive it — and thirty-two women before her didn't. As she's pulled into the Rocca family's inner war against rivals who want Alfonso's bloodline erased entirely, Ivana discovers the contract was never really about genetics. It's about a bloodline massacre from her own past that Alfonso's family had a hand in — and a wolf inside her that was never supposed to wake up at all. She came to kill an Alpha. She's leaving as one.

The safest cage is still a prison. In the blood-soaked underworld of Saint Petersburg, Danika Voronin has spent twenty-three years as her father’s golden trophy—beautiful, watched, and never free. When an anonymous hit lands on her head, the city’s most ruthless mafia don slams the gates shut and assigns her a new shadow: Kazimir. He is cold. Massive. Unmoved by her sharp tongue and prettier rebellions. He anticipates every escape, erases threats with terrifying speed, and watches her with an intensity that feels less like duty than hunger. Late-night inches become stolen heat. Every glance is a death sentence. Every touch is treason. Then Danika finds the encrypted files in his private vault, and the world splits. Kazimir is not a hired gun. He is the last heir of the rival bloodline her father butchered. He did not take this post to protect the Voronins. He took it to burn them from the inside and put a bullet in her father. Except the killer fell in love with his mark. Now a traitor is carving a coup from the shadows, and the man who was supposed to end her life is the only thing standing between her and a grave. The bedroom door no longer stays locked after midnight. The gun outside it has already chosen treason. Danika has one choice left: is the man holding the gun her ruin… or the only salvation she will ever want?
