Leigh Bardugo

    6 april 1975

    Leigh Bardugo creëert meeslepende fantasyromans, waarbij ze het uitgestrekte Grishaverse opbouwt met zijn ingewikkelde werelden en boeiende personages. Haar verhalen worden gekenmerkt door een onderscheidende stem die duistere magie combineert met diepgaande verkenningen van macht, identiteit en consequenties. Bardugo blinkt uit in het creëren van rijk gedetailleerde mythologieën en moreel complexe protagonisten, en trekt lezers mee in verhalen vol zowel hoge inzetten als diepe emotionele resonantie. Haar vermogen om ingewikkelde plots te verweven met levendige proza bevestigt haar positie als een toonaangevende stem in de hedendaagse fantasy literatuur.

      Kaz en zijn bende hebben een missie volbracht waarvan niemand dacht dat ze hem zouden overleven - ook zijzelf niet. Maar in plaats van de beloofde vette beloning te krijgen, worden de Kraaien dubbel verraden. Ze zullen opnieuw moeten vechten voor hun leven, en met de ontvoering van een belangrijk lid van de bende is dat zwaarder dan ooit. Terwijl Ketterdam vanwege de gevaarlijke drug jurda parem een onweerstaanbare aantrekkingskracht uitoefent op diverse wereldmachten, doen oude rivalen en nieuwe vijanden een beroep op Kaz' sluwheid en wordt de loyaliteit van de groep op de proef gesteld. Er dreigt een oorlog in de nauwe en donkere steegjes van Ketterdam - een gevecht om wraak en vergelding dat het lot van de Grisha-wereld uiteindelijk zal bepalen.

      In Ketterdam organiseert de maffia zich in rivaliserende bendes. De meest invloedrijke figuur in de onderwereld is Pekka Rollins; de meest ambitieuze is de jonge Kaz Bekker, ook wel "de Vuile Handen" genoemd. Kaz, de tweede man van de Kraai-bende, is zowel briljant als exaspererend en accepteert elk risico als het hem geld en aanzien oplevert. Zijn reputatie als dief stelt hem in staat een lucratieve klus te aanvaarden: hij moet een man ontvoeren die zich in de onneembare Glacius-fort bevindt, het bolwerk van de gevreesde druskelle-soldaten. De gevangene is de uitvinder van "Jurda parem", een drug die de krachten van de Grishas onbeperkt vergroot, maar hen ook afhankelijk en onderdanig maakt. Kaz besluit een team van uitzonderlijke talenten samen te stellen: Inej, de meesterlijke spion, Matthias, een druskelle-soldaat met een haat tegen Grishas, Nina, een voormalige Grisha-strijdster, Wylan, een beginnende oplichter, en Jesper, een gokverslaafde scherpschutter. Samen zullen ze een reeks uitdagende beproevingen ondergaan: Matthias bevrijden uit Hellgate, rivaliserende bendes trotseren, overleven na de explosie van hun schip en vooral infiltreren in de onneembare ijsstad!
