    Summary

    The Crows long to extend their affections to Kaz too, to be able to reach out as freely to him as they do one another, let touch say what words can't always. They would try to ignore the pang of hurt as Kaz coiled away from outstretched palms, because he wasn't ready for that yet, and they'd never rush him.
    That doesn't mean they wouldn't do everything they could to support him in the meantime, however. That they woudn't be there for Kaz in whatever capacity he'd permit.

    Or, Kaz receives the gift of a weighted blanket, and regains a small part of himself once thought to be long lost at Reaper's Barge.

    Summary

    "Get out."

    “I can do it,” Jesper insists. The pit that has been carving out Jesper’s gut grows deeper. “Is this because I missed my shots?”

    “You’re swaying in place,” Kaz snaps. “You’re no use to me if you can barely stand, nevermind read." His hand clenches. "Haskell shouldn’t have sent you up here."

    ~ or, after Jesper nearly costs the Dregs supplies, Per Haskell goes too far in punishing him. Kaz prefers his sharpshooter in working order.

    Summary

    Kaz, sick and injured, decides to hide out at the empty Van Eck house. Unfortunately it isn’t as empty as he’d thought…

    -

    “You’re ill,” Mrs. Ghafa says, in a tone that does not suggest a willingness to compromise. “And you’re hurt. I admit we do not know all the customs of Kerch, but surely one does not leave an injured child lying on the kitchen floor.”

    “I am not a—,” Kaz snaps, ire up. “Go inflict your help on someone who wants it.” He pushes himself into a sitting position with his good hand, fully intending to stand and storm dramatically out the door.

    Strangely he finds himself on his back in the bed a second later, a cool cloth draped across his forehead.

    “You fainted again. Don’t sit up so quickly,” Mrs. Ghafa scolds.

    Summary

    "His little group of Crows, each of them without another place to go. It would be cruel to deny them a visit to the farm when one had been offered, especially when they’d have a chance to at least celebrate all together, if not with their families."

    The Crows visit Jesper's family farm for the holidays.

    Summary

    Inej takes a step forwards. Almost imperceptibly, Kaz winces. “Then what are you going to do?”

    Finally, Kaz meet’s Inej’s gaze, and she knows the look in his eye: he is drawing himself up, strapping on his armor. He is steeling himself for pain.

    “I’m going to go to Lij,” he says. “And you’re all coming with me.”

    ——

    Or, when a job comes up in Lij, Kaz has to return home. He brings the only people he can trust on the journey with him.

    Summary

    After five years of battling slavers on her own, Captain Inej Ghafa is running low on resources, money, and spirit. But when her crew takes an unusual captive on board, she's faced with a rare opportunity: she's going to kill Dirtyhands, the legendary Bastard of the Barrel.

    Of course, Kaz Brekker has no intention of going quietly.

    Summary

    Thirty million dollars for a secret. That's the payout for Kaz Brekker, the most dangerous, ruthless, and talented extractor in the dream industry — if he can manage it.

    But to have a chance, he needs the best. That means finding a team willing to attempt the impossible: a knife-wielding cat burglar, a college dropout with perfect aim, a sullen ex-Navy SEAL, a drop-dead gorgeous former Soviet spy, and the estranged son of their rich employer.

    If they can avoid killing each other, they'll go down in history. If they can't, none of them may wake up again.

    Summary

    “I got the ugly truth of the Barrel from them. Stories of creatures like this witch Tante Heleen, like Pekka Rollins. Men like Dirtyhands, the Bastard of the Barrel.”
    Kaz stayed silent. Inej’s father blinked slowly.
    “Kerch sailors fail to mention that Dirtyhands is a teenage boy.”
    “Kerch sailors aren’t the most reliable of informants.”
    “So I am discovering.”

    Inej's parents try to figure Kaz out. Kaz does not enjoy being dissected.

    Summary

    Every new year hundreds receive a death sentence in the form of a black skull mark on their arm. Some spend their last days seeking pleasure. Others fall into despair as if they were dead already. Some try to right their wrongs. Kaz Brekker welcomes any of them into the Dregs so long as they have a useful talent.

    Some rumors claim, he keeps their hearts in jars. He delights in tormenting them, others whisper. He made a deal with the devil for their souls, others are convinced. Whatever the reason, one thing is known: Kaz Brekker only hires those who are already dying. Kaz lets the rumors go because they are useful and because they are all less horrific than what he actually is.

    *** Please read the warnings in the first chapter note.

    Summary

    It began now, just as it had before, with the unmistakable tolling of the plague bell.

    Kaz had suspected that something was brewing in the bowels of the city. Of course he hadn’t known what, exactly, the fuss had been about—a whisper here, a rumor there. He’d noticed it, with his eyes everywhere, but the trouble was so small that it could not even be identified. The warnings signs were barely signs at all, just a flippant remark, a shaky theory. Nothing notable enough for Kaz to spend more than a few men on discerning.

    That had been his first mistake.

    ——

    Or, after ten years, the Queen’s Lady Plague descends upon Ketterdam once more.

    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.

    Summary

    The Queen’s Plague hits Ketterdam once more, and Kaz is…. fine. He definitely isn't paranoid to the point he takes Inej to quarantine in the Van Eck mansion... and Jesper getting sick definitely isn't causing any sort of discomfort. It doesn't remind him of Jordie at all. Not even a little. Not at all.

    Jesper's fever does make him say some strange things, though.
