    • From the New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House, Hell Bent, and creator of the Grishaverse series comes a highly anticipated historical fantasy set during the Spanish Golden Age In a shabby house, on a shabby street, in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion. But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to better the family's social position. What begins as simple amusement for the bored nobility takes a perilous turn when Luzia garners the notice of Antonio Pérez, the disgraced secretary to Spain's king. Still reeling from the defeat of his armada, the king is desperate for any advantage in the war against England's heretic queen—and Pérez will stop at nothing to regain the king's favor. Determined to seize this one chance to better her fortunes, Luzia plunges into a world of seers and alchemists, holy men and hucksters, where the line between magic, science, and fraud is never certain. But as her notoriety grows, so does the danger that her Jewish blood will doom her to the Inquisition's wrath. She will have to use every bit of her wit and will to survive—even if that means enlisting the help of Guillén Santangel, an embittered immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.

      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!
