    Summary

    Inej has just come back from her first successful voyage across the True Sea. She continues on her mission to hunt down slavers, leading her to the south side of Kerch. Kaz is nowhere to be found in Ketterdam, and she can't help to wonder where they stand now.

    In the meantime, Kaz has shut himself away in Lij for some unconventional self-therapizing, and things start to spin out of control.

    Until one fateful night in a sea of wheatgrass...

    --
    I work way too much and apparently this is my cope now.

    Summary

    "Kaz opened the door, and the sight of her was almost enough to make him forget everything — the pain, the guilt, the turmoil of emotion this day had been. A string of tension snapped, releasing him. She was at the window, dark hair loose to the wind, casually perched on it just like she used to, before everything. The crows she’d taken the time to feed fretted around her, recognizing her careful fingers. A younger one had nestled in her lap, and gently, she petted its ruffled feathers.

    'Pretty' was nowhere near enough. She was every beautiful thing in the world.

    Kaz found the breath he’d lost, and felt a tired smile bloom on his lips."

    ------

    Six months after the events of Crooked Kingdom, Kaz Brekker begins to heal. It starts with a long-owed apology to a friend, and the return of the Wraith in Ketterdam.

    Summary

    Kaz shows up on the Wraith with a stab wound. Inej has to find a way to stitch up a boy who can't be touched.

    ----

    Of all the things Inej expected to find on the deck of her ship in the dead of night, Kaz Brekker was not one of them.

    All she saw of him at first was his silhouette against the harbor lights: coat collar flipped up against the breeze, cane planted firmly at his side.

    Too firmly, she realized.

    “Kaz?” she called, and he turned to face her.

    “Inej,” he said. Then he collapsed to the ground.

    Summary

    He’s like all the others, when they bring him in. More than half dead, covered in mud. Leg almost hanging off him, just a mess of torn flesh and exposed bone. Likely won’t survive. God knows Inej has seen better off than him succumb to their injuries.

    Northern France, 1917. In a battlefield hospital, Corporal Kaz Rietveld lies gravely wounded. His nurse is determined that he will not be another thing she loses to this war.
