Kaz Brekker didn't need a reason. Those were the words whispered on the streets of Ketterdam, in the taverns and coffeehouses, in the dark and bleeding alleys of the pleasure district known as the Barrel. The boy they called Dirtyhands didn't need a reason any more than he needed permission: to break a leg, sever an alliance, or change a man's fortunes with the turn of a card.
Of course they were wrong, Aeolian considered as she crossed the bridge. Every act of violence was deliberate, and every favour came with enough strings attached to stage a puppet show. Kaz always had his reasons. She didn't want to attach herself with the dramas of the Dregs, but tonight they needed her. He needed her.
She couldn't continue wearing her jackal mask, and her black cloak with the gold lining underneath. She needed to be discreet and let not people know that she was the Black Blade from The Desert Blade or the Jackal from The Onyx, and also because she had stepped away from that life when she failed her mission and decided to stay back in Ketterdam. And wearing her uniforms would be the highest level of disrespect. So she started a new identity in Ketterdam, with a new look. And because of her ability to appear and disappear, and mostly seen in the dark she was known as 'The Ghost'.
