Crooked Kingdom

Picking up immediately after the daring heist in 'Six of Crows,' 'Crooked Kingdom' plunges Kaz Brekker and his notorious crew of outcasts into even deeper peril. Having successfully infiltrated the impenetrable Ice Court, they return to Ketterdam not with their promised reward, but betrayal and a brutal fight for survival. Double-crossed and left with dwindling resources, allies, and hope, the team finds themselves embroiled in a city-wide struggle. Powerful global forces descend upon Ketterdam, all vying for the secrets of jurda parem, a dangerous drug capable of amplifying Grisha powers to devastating levels. Old enemies resurface and new threats emerge, challenging Kaz's unparalleled cunning and testing the fragile loyalties of his crew. As a war ignites on the dark, twisting streets of Ketterdam, the Dregs must navigate a treacherous landscape of revenge and redemption, their choices ultimately determining the fate of not just their lives, but the entire Grishaverse.
