    Summary

    “And have you made this entire call without once vexing or offending poor Miss Ghafa?”
    Captain Rietveld looked coolly at him. Inej bent her head over her sewing to hide her smiling, since she was not sure she would not laugh outright. She had not thought that Wylan would deliberately provoke the Captain, but perhaps his deference to his father did not reach anyone else.
    “I am sure that is not for me to decide,” said the Captain, “But I own I have been perfectly well behaved.”
    “Does he lie, Miss Ghafa?”
    “No— he has been quite tolerable company,” said Inej. “If not quite a perfect gentleman.”
    “You wound me, Miss Ghafa.”
    “I suspect I do not, Captain.”

    Summary

    Perhaps it is to be widely recognized that a single man, in good faith and good wealth, must be in want of a wife. And while this principle certainly applied to the vast majority of men, let it be known that Lord Brekker was most suitably found within the minority of this group.

    When caught in unsavory circumstances, Lord Brekker and Ms. Inej Ghafa must compromise a solution that neither truly had a say in.

    Add to the mix long standing feuds, warring nations, and tumultuous relationships, and its a recipe for disaster.

    But, perhaps, in the end things may just work themselves out, against the will of the many.

    Summary

    Following a terrible car accident three years ago, Kaz Brekker's wildly popular book series remains unfinished. The good people at Bloch & Sternbach have cut him a generous advance on the fourth and final book, but actually writing the damn thing has become the bane of Kaz's existence. As a way to help himself get focused and start again, he books himself an extended stay at a local hotel for a personal retreat.

    At check-in, he meets the beautiful and charming desk agent Inej Ghafa, who immediately leaves an impression on him. The point of this trip is obviously not to find reasons to talk to her, but Kaz soon finds himself doing just that.

    A story about finding creativity and connection again after a long period of grief and loss.

    Summary

    Kaz leans against the counter of plywood pretending to be oak, his elbow obnoxiously right by the open logbook. Their eyes meet and her stare comes alive, bright like a firework in the night. She tries to hide it, but he can see it anyway. Can see the dark cherry blush blooming on her cheeks and the sweet hitch of her breath. And this tiny smile, just for him, for him only.
    “Mister Brekker,” Inej says, her voice all breath. “Good evening. Welcome back.” / Kaz and Inej, late at night at a hotel reception

    Summary

    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.

    Perhaps if all were right with the world, two such people would never meet. Or perhaps fate will always give those who need each other a push in the right direction.

    It begins, as so many things in Ketterdam do, with a murder.
