Praise for the Grishaverse:
"This is what fantasy is for." The New York Times Book Review


Welcome to the world of the Grisha.

Kaz Brekker and his crew of deadly outcasts have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn''t think they''d survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they''re right back to fighting for their lives.

Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz''s cunning and test the team''s fragile loyalties.

A war will be waged on the city''s dark and twisting streets - a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of the Grisha world.


As gripping, sweeping and memorable as the SHADOW AND BONE bestselling trilogy and international Netflix sensation - this novel is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Laini Taylor, Kristin Cashore and GAME OF THRONES.

Jesper tapped his fingers restlessly. 'Has anyone noticed this whole city is looking for us, mad at us, or wants to kill us?'
'So?' said Kaz.
'Well, usually it's just half the city.'

Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off the most daring heist imaginable. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're fighting for their lives.
