Ketterdam knows her only as Shadow, a girl cloaked in silence, with fire at her fingertips and secrets in her wake. She moves alone through the city's underworld, selling whispers and slipping through locked doors like smoke. But when a job leads her into a confrontation with Kaz Brekker, the infamous Bastard of the Barrel, her path tangles with the Dregs in ways she never planned. He comes to her again, not with threats, but with business. Rumors of a sun summoner. War stirring across the sea. And a deal only she can broker. But nothing in Ketterdam is free. A slow-burn Grishaverse fanfic set between Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows, weaving shadows, saints, and secrets into a story of survival, power, and the cost of knowing too much.

The fatal flaw that makes you long to be so magnificently cursed Slow Burn / Kaz Brekker

In the time of darkness, when the world seems broken and the skies are heavy with sorrow, a Saint will emerge from the shadows. Sankta Nyra, the Ghost, will rise not as a figure of wrath alone, but as the light in the deepest night. She will be the harbinger of both destruction and redemption, the delicate balance between vengeance and salvation. Born of blood, pain, and betrayal, Sankta Nyra will carry the weight of the world upon her shoulders, yet her heart will remain steadfast and unyielding. She is both a weapon and a healer, a fierce protector of the weak and a merciless avenger of the wronged. Those who have been cast aside by the world will find solace in her presence, for she will be a beacon for the forgotten, the lost, and the oppressed. Her hands, though stained with blood, will also carry the power to heal wounds that have festered for too long. Her eyes, filled with the pain of the broken, will see through the illusions of the world and reveal the truth hidden in the darkest corners. She will walk between worlds, neither wholly light nor dark, but embodying the balance that keeps the world from tipping into chaos. The lost will be found, the broken will be mended, and those who are oppressed will rise with her. She will tear down the walls built by the cruel and the powerful, not with hate, but with the strength of love for those who have been forgotten. Through her, the impossible will become possible, and through her, the world will be made whole again. And when the skies clear, when the shadows recede, and the people rise to claim what was stolen from them, it will be the legacy of Sankta Nyra-the Saint of the Ghost-that will guide them. Her light will shine, and those who have stood in the dark will finally know peace.

Ketterdam is a city where shadows stretch long, where loyalty is a currency and betrayal a way of life. In a world ruled by criminals, Kaz Brekker's name is whispered with fear, a legend of ruthless cunning. But Kaz isn't the only one hiding deadly secrets. Ella Volgere walks in the same darkness, a ghost among thieves with a gift that makes her both invaluable and terrifying: the power to see-and twist-the emotions of others. Her ability is a weapon of quiet destruction, and Kaz, who keeps his heart locked away, is no exception to her influence. He denies it, buries it, but Ella knows the truth he can't face. As dangerous heists, betrayals, and revenge spiral around them, the line between ally and enemy blurs. Kaz and Ella tread a precarious path, each step a risk, each choice a cost. And when the unforgivable happens, it is Pekka Rollins who will be the architect of their downfall-his betrayal a price too steep to pay. In a world where trust is a death sentence, and love is a weakness, Kaz Brekker will face the one truth he can't escape: some wounds can never be healed. And some sacrifices, no matter how great, can never be repaid.

Ketterdam is never short on secrets, but Evilina Litvinkov might just be the deadliest one yet. The city tends to forget people like her - born in the Barrel, forged by its filth. Yet nothing could ever let this girl go unseen or unspoken. Kaz Brekker has built his reputation on control, ruthlessness, and the art of never letting anyone in. But she has always been different. Together, they built an empire from ash and blood-her sharp mind and his calculating plans causing mayhem in the underbelly of the city. He respects her, needs her-but he never lets her close. Not in the way she deserves. Not in a place like this. Now, chasing the promise of a new life and a heist of the century, cracks are starting to form under everything they've built. She's not the girl who saved him anymore-and he is running out of places to hide. In Ketterdam, the past doesn't stay buried. And in a city built on lies, nothing comes without a price. Following the books 'Six of Crows' and 'Crooked Kingdom'
