"Do you trust me?" Kaz breathes, his hooded eyes resting on hers as he gripped onto his cane with such force his gloves made a soft, squeaking, sound of distress.
Asura paused for only a moment before nodding, a simple "always" escaping her as she returned Kaz's intense gaze with a steady one. Her heart was pounding so loud in her ears that she just barely caught the next words to leave his lips.
"Then run."
Asura was destined to find Kaz Brekker. Neither understand their connection, but they both agreed on the fact that she is dangerous, and that they would die if it meant the other could live. Her powers are uncontrollable, and leave her incapacitated after every use; however, the crows need her abilities when they are tasked with one of the most difficult missions they will ever face as a team. Kaz isn't worried as he trusts his crows, but he is faced with the hardest decision of his life when Asura's true gifts come to light and he struggles to face himself amongst the dangers they encounter.

Complete!
A Six of Crows AU: Set after Crooked Kingdom, before Rule of Wolves. The Crows are all still together, and Matthias isn't dead.
The Crows have been hired by a mysterious Ravkan to steal an ancient book from the most secure library in the world - in a country they've even barely heard of, let alone been to before.
All Chapters are quite short (200-1000 words each), as I wanted to get a bit of each character's viewpoint, similar to the actual books.
I really hope you enjoy : )
Note: Cover art is not my art, and obviously I don't own any characters from the Six of Crows/Shadow and Bone book series.
