Seven of Crows

"If you want to know the secrets of the Ice Court, Brekker, go to Reaper's Barge and ask the waters for my bastard father's secrets."

Ten years ago, a Shadow had been born in the dark alleyways of Ketterdam. It wove its way mercilessly through the streets, spreading its webs of influence ever further. It was relentless in its lust for vengeance; no soul on Earth had the power to stop its conquest. The Shadow had settled in the Barrel and spun its webs around it, daring anyone to challenge it. The Shadow had decided to form an alliance with the Dregs, and it had never regretted that decision. Well, not until now...

When the Shadow is offered a sum of money that could change their life, for better or worse, they jump at the chance. Until they have to unearth a past that they wished to remain forgotten.
