Summary
The vampires who emerged with the closing of the Fold don’t trouble the Geldstraat. Ketterdam’s rich live securely, with powerful wards against the supernatural built into the fabric of their houses and private security to walk their streets after dark. The rest of the city does what they can to keep safe, but the last line of defense for the poor, the helpless, and the unlucky are the Flames. Chosen by the University of Ketterdam’s Night Science Institute and sponsored by the city in the interests of preserving their labor force, Flames hunt vampires through the streets, accompanied by University-trained Wardens who strengthen and protect them.
Ever since Inej’s parents were killed, she’s devoted herself to a single ambition: becoming a Flame. But on the streets of Ketterdam, the future she dreamed of may not look much like the future she gets.

Summary
"I had a dream," he said, his dark eyes shining in the low light that the stormy skies let into the room. "That you held your blade to my neck. And I liked it."
Inej felt a drop of fear in her stomach, and she had to school herself to stillness.
"I don't want to hold my blade to your neck," she whispered, trying to keep the emotions out of her voice. He had every right to tell her all the darkest, deepest things his brain could conjure up. She wanted to know them. But she had the right to say no, just as he did. "I don't want to hurt you."
He had smiled, his eyes watching her lips. "And that's why I would let you," he breathed.Or, a scene on the theme of "Kaz Brekker has senses, and someone should deprive him of them."

Summary
Kaz shows up on the Wraith with a stab wound. Inej has to find a way to stitch up a boy who can't be touched.
----
Of all the things Inej expected to find on the deck of her ship in the dead of night, Kaz Brekker was not one of them.
All she saw of him at first was his silhouette against the harbor lights: coat collar flipped up against the breeze, cane planted firmly at his side.
Too firmly, she realized.
“Kaz?” she called, and he turned to face her.
“Inej,” he said. Then he collapsed to the ground.

Summary
“If you’re here for something honest and respectable, I’ll eat my guns piecemeal,” said Jesper. He scrubbed his face. “How long have you been telling those poor girls about your sick mother in Oldendaal?”
“It was Zierfoort, actually.”
“I don’t care where it was! What are you doing?”
“I thought I wasn’t supposed to involve you in my schemes anymore.” said Kaz petulantly, glancing in the mirror to rearrange his jacket.
“Kaz, you playing the victim is about as natural as a flock of lime-green flamingos, so don’t bother,” said Jesper. “Is it a heist? A blackmail job? Gathering information?”
“Who said it was just one thing?” said Kaz, straightening his cuffs with two brisk jerks. “This place is the playground for the children of the rich and prosperous, Jes. I could have a million reasons for being here. But since you’re here for reasons both honest and respectable, I can assure you I’ll stay out of your way–”

Summary
Kaz was out of town when the Komedie Brute decided to have audacity in spades.
Later, Wylan thought this was probably best. Giving the actors a grace period of about a week without having to worry about the presence of Kaz was probably a good thing.
The real Kaz, that was.

Summary
“Look,” Nina says. Inej has startled her badly enough that she’s made a mess of her eyeliner – the wing on her right eye careens wildly to one side.
“I’m all for reclaiming your sexuality. Seriously. Two thumbs up from me. But, honestly, Inej, does it have to be with the most emotionally unavailable man you know?”
“Well, who would you suggest?”
Nina’s eyes bulge. “Oh, I don’t know, literally anyone with a pulse and a conscience?”
“Kaz has –
“We don’t know that,” Nina says sternly.

Summary
It was all Inej’s fault, of course. When she’d snuck through some unknown window into his heart she must have forgotten to lock up behind her. It was the only explanation for how these other idiots got in.
“I think Kaz likes seeing you like this,” Jesper says, grinning down at Wylan, who’s laying on his back, flushed and panting on the bed. “Lovely. So debauched. Don’t you, Kaz?”

Summary
She shakes her head, feeling befuddled. “I don’t know what to tell them, Papa. What do I say?”
He smiles sadly at her, and gently tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. “You say whatever you need to. Tell them as much or as little as you want. It is your story to tell, when–if–you want to tell it.”
Before she sets off to hunt slavers, Inej returns to the caravan.

“Wait. Is Kaz short for something?!?” Nina gasped.
“No.”
“It totally is, he said that way too quickly.”

Kaz watches as Inej's expression goes from surprise to delight, and then softens into something he does not quite dare to put into words. In his chest, his heart is thundering at an almost dangerous pace.

Unsurprisingly, it turns out that Kaz does not handle jealousy very well.

Summary
Her hands, intertwined with his, rough and calloused and so small within his own. Her eyes, dark even in the sunlight, but able to see through him like glass. Her cheek, warm and soft against his shoulder as if she simply belonged there. And her lips, and the sounds within them, and how he plied them from her, and the marks they left upon his skin.

Summary
“Before what?” demanded Jordie.
Inej’s gaze bored into them, for a moment. Finally, she said:
“Before I try to convince Kaz that you’re not imposters, that he should have strangled and thrown into the harbour.”
Jordie’s neck prickled, thinking of the hard-eyed stare in the Crow Club.
“I’ve been in enough harbours for one lifetime, thank you.” he said.
He was rewarded with a very faint smile.
“...you’re not as dissimilar as he’d like, you know.”
--
besting impossible odds is apparently a genetic trait, because jordie is definitely not as dead as kaz thought.

Summary
Kaz squints at her. “Are you a student, Inej?”
And, oh, no.
Her name sounds exactly right in his rock salt rasp. It spells trouble. She shakes it off and tries to focus on answering the question. She supposes that in a different world she could be a student. She would live in a cozy apartment with some other girls, and this would just be a part-time job, so she would have time to attend lectures and write papers and go on dates.
But Inej does not live in that world. She lives in this one.
