    Summary

    Every new year hundreds receive a death sentence in the form of a black skull mark on their arm. Some spend their last days seeking pleasure. Others fall into despair as if they were dead already. Some try to right their wrongs. Kaz Brekker welcomes any of them into the Dregs so long as they have a useful talent.

    Some rumors claim, he keeps their hearts in jars. He delights in tormenting them, others whisper. He made a deal with the devil for their souls, others are convinced. Whatever the reason, one thing is known: Kaz Brekker only hires those who are already dying. Kaz lets the rumors go because they are useful and because they are all less horrific than what he actually is.

    *** Please read the warnings in the first chapter note.
