Adena is a town in Ravka.
History[]
King of Scars[]
Adena is one of the locations of the strange happenings throughout Ravka that were believed to be Saint-made. Roses had burst through the stone of a statue of Sankta Lizabeta in front the entrance of the cathedral. Yuri Vedenen points out Adena's location to Nikolai Lantsov and the Grisha Triumvirate on a map.[1]
Later, Zoya Nazyalensky, Nikolai, Yuri, and the twins travel to all the miracle sites, and Adena is their last stop before the Shadow Fold. They are greeted by an off-key band and a parade of livestock and giant vegetables, which includes a colossal squash. As they observe where the miracle had occurred, Zoya is yanked skyward by a khergud soldier.[2]
Rule of Wolves[]
Now in Yuri's body, the Darkling brings his followers to the area north of Adena to await word of battle. Brother Azarov asks the Darkling whether he has been to Adena before, to which he responds that he always wanted to visit because of the statue of Sankta Lizabeta. However, Azarov realizes that he isn't really Yuri and calls to Brother Chernov for assistance before getting killed by a nichevo'ya. Right afterward, the blight comes over Adena, leaving half of it gray and lifeless except for where the Darkling stands.[3]
Description[]
Adena overlooks a pretty lake. Near the village is a high hill next to a cathedral with golden domes surrounded by scaffolding and a statue of Sankta Lizabeta at the entrance. Kribirsk and the Fold can be seen from the hill.[2] A sloping road leads into Adena. The town has a market square, where people stock up on provisions.[3]
