Six of Crows

Book • 2001
Set in the city of Ketterdam, loosely inspired by Dutch Republic–era Amsterdam, 'Six of Crows' follows Kaz Brekker, a criminal prodigy, and his diverse crew as they undertake a dangerous mission to rescue Bo Yul-Bayur, the inventor of the potent drug 'jurda parem'.

The story is told through multiple viewpoints and features a complex plot with suspense, twists, and character development.

The novel is part of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse and is the first in the 'Six of Crows' duology, followed by 'Crooked Kingdom'.
