　　格里沙，各類異能者的代稱。
　　在拉夫卡，他們是魔法精英、第二軍團成員，
　　而在其他國家，他們被視為受選者、工具、惡魔⋯⋯

　　貿易繁忙的萬惡港都克特丹，
　　流傳有種能強化並控制格里沙的藥物。
　　現在各國都來到這裡，意圖奪取祕方⋯⋯

　　克特丹的犯罪天才「髒手」凱茲接受富商范艾克委託，前往北國要塞劫出唯一知曉藥物祕方的科學家之子，卻在回程被黑吃黑，不僅沒獲得酬勞，幻影伊奈許更被對方擄走。

　　他們這一夥人決定要傾盡己力讓對方付出代價，取回自己的所有物。而同時，蜀邯的改造人鐵翼兵出現，四處攻擊格里沙。凱茲必須改變這裡的遊戲規則，騙過四周強權與黑心商人，面對這場格里沙世界的危機⋯⋯

　　作者以六個邊緣人作為主角，巧妙地將議題埋到故事中，性別、膚色、信仰和種族與他們的個人問題，完美示範了「多元」的真諦、加深了世界觀。再加上峰迴路轉的劇情與高超的說故事功力，更讓讀者為之瘋狂。

　　這是個精彩刺激有如《瞞天過海》的偷拐搶騙故事，也是場出色如《迷霧之子》般、充滿奇異能力與鮮明角色的奇幻冒險。

See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with the Netflix series, Shadow and Bone -- Season 2 streaming now!

Discover what comes next for Kaz, Jesper, Inej, and Wylan in Crooked Kingdom, the spectacular sequel to Six of Crows.

When you can’t beat the odds, change the game.

Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn’t think they’d survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they’re right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz’s cunning and test the team’s fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city’s dark and twisting streets--a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of the Grisha world.
