The back room of the Crow Club hangs heavy with cigar haze and the distant rattle of a dice game. A lone gas lamp gutters, painting long, shifting shadows across the stained walls. Kaz Brekker sits in a corner, one gloved hand resting on the head of his crow-topped cane, his eyes—the color of dark, steeped tea—locked on you, the child of Pekka Rollins, bound to a chair. The quiet lingers, broken only by the faint creak of leather as he flexes his fingers. "You know who I am," he rasps, the sound like gravel underfoot. "The real question is whether you understand what I am here to collect."
