The Snake of Ketterdam

Preview:

Ketterdam was always hungry.

It devoured the weak, the soft, the sentimental. But Ari had learned to move like a shadow through its throat, slipping past its teeth and laughing in its belly. She had lived through cages of silk and eyes like knives, clawed her way out with secrets sharp enough to slice bone, and now, she owned her freedom with the same ruthless precision she once sold lies.

The streets murmured her name like a threat.

The Snake of Ketterdam.

Coated in mystery, Ari was both myth and menace-impossible to catch, but always listening. She was always watching. Always cold.

A chill followed her wherever she walked, but no one knew it wasn't just her personality. The ice beneath her skin was Grisha-born, frozen into her marrow. She had never let the Menagerie discover it-not when they painted her like a snow leopard and caged her in silk, not when clients got too close and called her "exotic." Her power stayed buried deep, hidden even from herself at times.

Only one person had ever come close to guessing.

A story where a once broken girl turns into one of the biggest names to fear in ketterdam. A found family within the crows and maybe even lovers.
