    Summary

    It should not, he thinks, surprise him that he ends up at the Slat, the black-painted ramshackle of a structure still leaning as precariously as ever. But, he is surprised all the same, just faintly, when the building stands before him, looming as it has for the entirety of his time in Ketterdam.

    Summary

    On her first trip back to Ketterdam, Inej learns three things about Kaz Brekker.

    The first: Kaz Brekker makes a terrible sick patient.
    The second: It has been nine years since Kaz was last hugged.
    The third: Pet names are a powerful weakness.

    Or, Kaz faces the consequences of being a poorly socialised half-feral canal rat, and Inej is having none of it.

    Summary

    She stepped into the room; eyes almost immediately drawn to the stranger sitting in the old green armchair. He was dressed in all black, exactly as Kristina had said, cane resting in his leather covered, right hand. He was watching Alina in turn, expression cold and unreadable.

    Alina felt scared of him, without knowing why. Something about his stare and all black clothes perhaps. He had a scar cutting down his face from above his left eyebrow to the top of his lip and a metal contraption on his right leg. The dark of the room seemed to settle in the sharp edges of his cheekbones and hollows of his eyes, as if the light from the candelabras could not touch him. Alina had the wild thought that death had come calling and had come for her specifically.

    Summary

    After a long moment, Kaz exhaled and leant back in his chair.
    "I can have him dead by tonight," He said, “If you don’t mind the Van Eck household getting involved.”
    Inej stared at him.
    “That's it? You’ll help?” She asked dubiously.
    Kaz frowned.
    “Would I have bothered to listen if I wasn’t going to?”
    "No 'what's in it for me'? What happened to never something for nothing?”
    "Well, it’s lucky for you that there's already something in it for me, isn’t it?"

    ---

    Inej needs a powerful man dead. Kaz, busy conducting 'renovations' across the West Stave and feuding with famous stage actors, is glad to have the opportunity to eliminate a threat.
