Kaz Brekker and his gang have just pulled off a robbery so audacious that they couldn’t even dream of staying alive. But instead of dividing the considerable loot, they have to fight again for their lives. They were betrayed by partners; one member of the team has been kidnapped; the gang lacks resources, allies, and hope. Meanwhile, mighty forces from all over the world are gathering in Ketterdam to uncover the secrets of a dangerous drug known as “jurda parem,” and old rivals and new enemies challenge Kaz’s cunning and test the fragile loyalty of the members of his crew.
In the dark, tangled streets of the city, war will flare up—a battle in the name of revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of magic in the world of Grisha.
