Inej Ghafa is a principal dancer of the Kerch National Ballet, haunted by a past she'd rather forget. Kaz Brekker is a mob boss who holds the city in the palm of his hand.

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.

Summary
“What made Inej Ghafa feel safe was knowing he’d give an entire city a plague to save her. That he’d leave splintered bones and broken men in his wake, if anyone stood between them. She knew what he’d done to earn the moniker Dirtyhands, and she wanted those hands on her, anyway.”

Summary
Kaz was not so good at ignoring the status quo, not so good at pretending not to size up every person, place, or thing like it was a prize to be won or a battle to be fought. He did it with school, with choosing roommates, working internships a year early, doing all the little things that could ensure him a shred of long-term success. That was the way of the world, you’re born, you struggle, you die. Kaz wanted more, his brother wanted more, his parents wanted everything for the both of them.

Summary
Kaz and Inej crisscross state lines, organizing workers into unions. Sometimes they win. Sometimes they lose. And one time, on a cold night in Pittsburgh, they lie together in a very small bed, and they talk. And more than talk.
Our lives shall not be sweated, from birth until life closes;
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses!Bookmarked by Whitherward
