Netflix has dropped the trailer for a new fantasy series titled "Shadow and Bone" coming in April.

It follows the story of a lowly soldier and orphan Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) in a war-torn world where she discovers and unleashes an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting her country free.
