    Summary

    Nina finally came to herself and burst out into the aisle to confront Kaz, indignant.
    “You said we were needed for a job at a wedding!”
    “You are,” said Kaz briskly, taking the ledger from Rotty and flipping through it.
    “I thought we’d be robbing some mercher event! Doing a real job!”
    “That’s your folly. Besides, I haven’t told you what you have to do, yet.”
    “This is your wedding!"
    Kaz looked blankly at her.
    “Did I say it wasn’t?”
    --
    it's a fine day in ketterdam when two monsters are wed.

    Summary

    “I don’t know how he knows, but I can trust him,” said Inej firmly. “His information will be sound.”
    “It better be," said the Heartrender. "You’re still human like every other man, Brekker. I could crush your heart in a second.”
    Kaz looked blankly at her for a moment.
    “You sound so sure,” he said.
    --
    Kaz gets wind of a planned ambush. With precisely zero good grace, he goes to help Inej and her crew.
    In Lij.
    He's about as happy about it as her crew are; which is to say, not happy at all.

    Summary

    “So, yes.” Kaz said. “It is a good idea to collect in the Barrel. Merchers don’t care about some puerile charity project, but the Barrel is built of survivors. It has a very long memory. Say some jumped-up kid pinches some kruge from them. When he comes back to his boss, who lost his girl and his Da and his best friend in the Queen’s Lady, and presents him with money that’s meant to be funding a memorial for them? Them, the people who never get a scrap of respect, who were left to die in the streets? That kid will be lucky if he escapes with both of his hands.”
    --
    or: on the 10 year anniversary of the queen's lady plague, the holy ghezen health institute aim to erect a memorial for the victims, but they struggle to find the funds. kaz is selfish in a selfless way.
    and thanks to some sleuthing from wylan, jesper finds out who jordie is.
    or was.

    Summary

    It's Kaz's own fault for being a stupid skiv and getting himself nabbed off streets he knew like breathing.

    It's Kaz's fault.

    He tells himself that. (Repeatedly.)

    Kaz is held, captive and sick, in a basement he can't recognize, but when luck gives him a way out he runs to the closest safe place he can think of--Wylan's.

    Wylan doesn't expect a desperate, fevered crime lord to break into his house. He's stopped thinking life will be the way he expects, though, and sure Kaz is the Bastard of the Barrel, but he's Wylan's friend. What else could he do but look after him while he recovers?
