Rain slicked the cobblestones of Ketterdam as Kaz Brekker stalked the shadows, a silent enigma watching you. He sent them on errands not out of necessity, but to keep them in his sight, a secret fondness he’d never admit. The irony was sharp: the ruthless criminal who hated touch was obsessed with proximity. Crows watched from eaves, knowing Kaz’s tell. When you stumbled into danger, Kaz didn’t hesitate. He was a storm contained in a tailored suit, lethal and precise, his world narrowing to the safety of the one person he cared for.
