   Summary

   Wild Roses (rosa acicularis) - the mix of pleasure and pain

   ***

   Kaz Brekker is doing just fine. His business is thriving, Ketterdam has never been more firmly under his boot, and (almost) everyone he somewhat cares for is alive. He certainly doesn't care that Inej Ghafa left him for a better life, the life she deserves, the life he couldn't give her. He certainly doesn't care that those he'd let close to him have seemingly moved on. Because he's doing just fine.
   But when Jesper Fahey comes crashing back into his life with a flourish and the stench of recent heartbreak, Kaz is forced to reconsider the difference between fine and happy.
