Description

The explosive, highly anticipated epic conclusion to the global bestselling duology and BookTok phenomenon! From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Leigh Bardugo comes Crooked Kingdom—a brilliantly written, fast-paced, and intensely atmospheric fantasy masterpiece. Set in the dark, sprawling streets of the Grishaverse, this unputdownable book perfectly balances a high-stakes tactical war with profound psychological depth, razor-sharp witty banter, and undeniable chemistry. It delivers a spectacular, multi-layered puzzle of revenge and redemption that will keep you glued to the page until the very last sentence.

Welcome back to the world of the Grisha. Kaz Brekker and his crew of deadly outcasts have just pulled off a heist so daring, complex, and high-performance that even they didn’t think they’d survive it alive. But instead of safely divvying up a massive, life-changing reward, they find themselves instantly double-crossed, badly weakened, and right back to fighting for their lives. The crew is dangerously low on resources, completely stripped of allies, and running out of hope. To make matters worse, the ultimate prize they fought for has been stolen from them, leaving Kaz’s crew fractured and trapped in close quarters within enemy territory.

As powerful global forces, wealthy merchants, and corrupt syndicates descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the volatile, magical drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and lethal new enemies emerge from the shadows. Kaz’s legendary cunning is pushed to its absolute breaking point, testing the team’s fragile loyalties and deep emotional vulnerabilities. No longer just a criminal job, a massive, unscripted war is about to be waged on the city’s dark, twisting streets and labyrinthine canals—a final battle where their fierce, protective devotion to one another is the only asset that can save the fate of the entire Grisha world.

Masterfully executing the found family, tactical heist, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and dark urban fantasy tropes, Crooked Kingdom delivers an atmospheric, high-energy reading experience. Brimming with Leigh Bardugo’s signature intricate world-building, high-stakes action sequences, and unforgettable character arcs, this premium Indigo international paperback edition is a landmark achievement in modern fantasy fiction. It stands as an essential, mandatory masterpiece for your personal collection.
