    Summary

    Her hand hovered above the doorknob. She shouldn’t. Kaz valued his privacy like a miser valued his coin. But the sound came again—an exhale, ragged and low, and this time she couldn’t ignore it.

    Inej slipped inside.

    The lamp was low, burning more shadow than light. At first, she thought the dark heap on the floor beside the bed was just discarded clothing, but then it shifted, and her breath caught.

    “Kaz.”

    He sat slouched against the mattress, his cane discarded to one side, his shirt smeared crimson across the abdomen. The dark patch was spreading, his gloved hand pressed futilely against it. His head lolled slightly toward her voice, eyes glazed and unfocused, but still sharp enough to spark when he recognized her.

    “Hello, Inej,” he intoned lowly, the ghost of his smirk tugging at his mouth. “If you’re trying to rob me, you’ll have to get in line.”

    -

    In a twist of events, Kaz is gravely wounded and Inej isn't about to let his stubbornness get him killed. She sets about patching him up.

    Summary

    Two people, in a city of smog and rain, ran through its streets. One fleeing the repercussions of a heist gone wrong. The other, escaping the captors that brought her to a foreign land. Their paths intercept and the two collide in ways that feel inevitable. With the woman's captors on her tail, she seeks to bargain with the man for a way to the docks. To escape this country for good. The two part ways, thinking the chance encounter both strange and singular.

    A year later, they meet once more. Except this time, the man introduces him as a Lord and the woman is a governess for the family of the lady he is courting.

    Except Inej is not so sure. She remembers him, remembers his cunning. And thinks perhaps there is more to the story than what he has spun.

    Summary

    Excerpt from Part Two:

    Inej just clicked her tongue, “They won’t like it.”

    ”What they don’t know can’t hurt them,” he replied pointedly.

    “I’ve stepped foot on land for less than an hour and you already have me keeping secrets.” She shook her head, her mouth curving.

    “It’s best to keep up practice, Wraith, for your skills to remain sharp.”

    The streets of Ketterdam whisper. In the caliginous night, in alleyways and darkened corners where the shadows are thickest. Under the burning gas lamps of West Stave and East, skittering with Barrel-born in lurid flash and the roaming nocturnal tourists out to sample the goods in capes and masks. From lips to ears. From district to district. From sweethearts in embrace to the clandestine pleasure takers to wide-eyed strangers to rivals from opposing gangs. The hushed words carried through the air, a fog collecting low on the damp flagstones, skimming over the murky black water of canals.

     

    Dirtyhands, King of the Barrel rules his kingdom with an iron fist.

    Summary

    A year ago, Inej was forced to transfer from her first ever teaching job in the midst of the school year. Now with the start of a new semester, in a new school, where she was glaringly the youngest member of the faculty, Inej had the most to prove. When a series unfortunate events leave her in a predicament, stranded on school grounds under a darkening sky with no way home, Kaz Brekker—former professor on tenure track turned high school teacher, offers her a ride. And their relationship, one built on the respect of colleagues and a tacit, undeniable bond they've danced around turns into something more that neither could’ve expected.

    Summary

    ”You’re cute when you try to intimidate,” she replies with a dismissive chuckle. “But,” and suddenly her disposition sobers, the easy grin slipping off like whiskey slips down the throat; ever capricious, ever enigmatic. “This is as much my case as yours . I’ve been officially hired. So unless you want to explain to that family why you’re preventing them from getting the answers they deserve, you need to get off your high horse. Immediately.”

    ”Fine. Just stay out of my way and stay out of bureau business,” Caitlyn huffed.

    Vi snatched the untouched gin and tonic from Caitlyn’s hands and downed it in one go. “Your loss, princess.”
