"you do not mess with dirtyhands unless you're ready to fight death"

LISSA BREKKER KNEW nothing of her life before Kaz, because she didn't have one — he was everything she had, and she was perfectly content knowing he might be the only person in her life forever. Lissa could tell you about the thousand times Kaz Brekker saved her life, from herself, from the rising water, and from the demons on the street.

No one ever dared mess with Lissa.

Everyone knew what would happen if you did. She'd been too small to remember much, but she remembers the smell, the feeling of a hundred souls staring right at her, she remembers barely being able to call out his name, she remembers him.

Now the wind situation?

She doesn't exactly remember when it started, maybe it was the day she was born, or maybe it was the day she climbed out of the waters with Kaz, but she'd learned that it would be just one more thing Kaz would have to protect her from.

Just another thing to hide in the shadows.
