In the corrupt merchant city of Ketterdam, teenage criminal mastermind Kaz Brekker assembles a crew of six dangerous misfits — a spy, a sharpshooter, a Grisha Heartrender, a former soldier, and a runaway — to pull off an impossible heist: break into the most heavily fortified prison in the world and extract a scientist whose discovery could rewrite the balance of power. What follows is a darkly layered caper where backstory, betrayal, and a desperate found family collide against impossible odds.
