Stars ― Kaz Brekker

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐒

❛here is the repeated image of the lover destroyed.❜
― richard siken

ESTERA MOERS IS A GRISHA SQUALLER with a poet's tongue and a penchant for running. Years after being sent to Ravka to train at the Little Palace, as the Ravkan Civil War heated up, she deserted the Second Army and wound up on the docks of Ketterdam, far from home and far from safety—the same day Kaz Brekker, her childhood best friend turned heartless criminal comes to the docks on an errand for Per Haskell.

Whether out of a sense of sentimentality (doubtful), the kindness of his heart (incredibly doubtful), or just the realization that a Squaller would make a good asset to the Dregs, Kaz Brekker offers Estera a spot in the gang.

Estera isn't sure she believes in fate, but she does believe one thing: that the stars have brought her back to her lonely neighbor boy, and she won't let them separate them again.
