Summary
In the aftermath of the dock at Fifth Harbor, Inej Ghafa travels north with the Crows toward the Ice Court—feverish, injured, and carrying truths that were never meant to surface. As the job presses forward, the fragile equilibrium between survival and trust fractures. Follow Inej as she reckons with what was taken, what was withheld, and the quiet, brutal work of reclaiming agency over her body and her choices.
Be sure to read She Used to Be Mine first—this won’t make much sense otherwise!
It's an oldie that probably needs some attention to the first few chapters but the rest is decidedly solid! Thoughts on me going back and rewriting a bit? I’ve definitely considered it!Series

Summary
Inej escapes the Menagerie with a shattered mirror, a stolen disguise, and a bloody plan. Disguised as a boy to hide her most dangerous vulnerability, she fights to stay hidden until she can find her way home. Fevered and wounded, she strikes a deal with the infamous Bastard of the Barrel—Kaz Brekker—who, if asked, would swear he knew her secret from the start. But that isn’t entirely true. Then again, with Kaz, it never is. In the Barrel, reality is just what you can make others believe.

Summary
Inej Ghafa wakes in an unfamiliar room with no memory of how she got there. Disoriented and sick with pain she can’t explain, she tries to trace the path from the gilded prison of the Menagerie to the bare attic where she now lies. But as the din of confusion refuses to lift and the pieces fail to fall into place, she’s confronted with something even more unsettling—a stranger whose presence pulls like the gravity she’s spent her life defying, and who may hold the key to everything she’s forgotten.
Kaz remembers everything. Everything.
Follow Inej through a journey to reclaim a life—a woman—she doesn’t know, led by a supposed monster with grief in his eyes.
