"This is what fantasy is for." The New York Times Book Review
Criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker is offered a chance at a deadly heist: break into the Ice Court - a military stronghold that has never been breached - and retrieve a hostage whose knowledge could change Grisha magic forever. To succeed would mean riches beyond his wildest dreams - but he can't pull it off alone . . .

A runaway with a privileged past.
A spy known as the Wraith.
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums.
