   Summary

   Every terrible man is cursed to carry a wretched heart,
   While a black heart lies in the chests
   Of every one of the demons of hell.
   But there is one worse than terrible men and demons,
   For if you cut open the Devil
   All you shall find is Darkness.

   Kaz Brekker had never been truly normal.
   As a young boy, on the farm in Lij, he was socially awkward and always looked just the slightest out of place.
   As an orphaned child on the streets of Ketterdam, he always looked a tad off, and nobody dared approach him.
   As a newly inducted member of the Dregs, he radiated danger while his reputation as Dirtyhands grew.
   As a teen, he emanated shadow and darkness, a tangible feeling of emptiness that penetrated the hearts of even the most courageous men with the strongest wills.
   Kaz Brekker had never been truly normal.
   What if the Bastard of the Barrel was actually a bastard, the son of Aleksander Morozova? What if he inherited the gift — and curse — that was Shadow Summoning?
   Canon rewrite with Shadow Summoner!Kaz from pre-canon to the end of Six of Crows.
