    Summary

    Clothes were strewn across the bedroom floor. The bed was unmade, with one corner of the fitted sheet peeling off the mattress and crumbs scattered across the surface. A tower of dirty plates and glasses decorated the bedside table, and an old, half-eaten pizza sat in a box on the dresser.

    A chill ran through her veins. “Tikki… what is all this?”

    As if Marinette didn’t know. As if—

    “I’m not so sure he was planning a surprise,” Tikki said, glancing worriedly around the room.

    The room seemed to spin. Last time Marinette had seen Adrien’s apartment like this…

    No. She wasn’t thinking about that.

    But what else was she supposed to think?

    Summary

    “You think you can just call up Kaz Brekker and he’ll hop on the next ship to Ravka?" asks Zoya. "He’s gone mad, Nikolai."
    Nikolai can’t argue that Kaz Brekker is the wildest of cards in his deck. But what choice does he have? He needs a master, and Brekker is the most masterful of them all.
    “I know how we can get him on board.”
    Zoya scoffs. “Nina says he’s positively unhinged since Inej Ghafa’s death years ago. Jesper and Wylan fled here after a nasty encounter with the bastard.”
    “I know a way,” he says. Everyone has a weakness, as Kaz would say, and Nikolai knows exactly what Kaz’s is. “Inej Ghafa is alive.”

    Three years after the events of Crooked Kingdom, the Crows have fallen apart. Inej, in order to protect herself, has been faking her death for the past two years. Kaz, overridden with grief, finally snaps and goes mad. Wylan, Jesper, and Nina flee back to Ravka, but when the Wandering Isle closes its harbor and the Fjerdans threaten war, Nikolai needs a crew that can infiltrate Maroch Castle and gather information.
    Can the crows overcome the traumas of their past, the shortcomings of their present, and their fears of the future for one final mission?

    Summary

    Kaz had set aside his cane, hat and coat and he looked oddly delicate now, sitting beside her in his shirtsleeves and vest. His body was angled toward her as much as possible on the small sofa, holding her hand and keeping his bitter-coffee eyes trained on her face. His gloves were still on, but somehow she knew that it was due to the relative strangeness of her parents rather than to hide his hands from her. He held her hand so tightly that she could feel the little slits in the fingertips, little absences of contact from the leather covering the rest of her hand.

    -----------------------------

    Takes place immediately following the events of Crooked Kingdom. We meet Inej's parents and get some closure for everyone involved.

    Summary

    Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.

    “What, then? Spit it out.”

    The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”
