Six of Crows Add a review

Six of Crows is a fantasy novel written by the American author Leigh Bardugo and published by Henry Holt and Co. in 2015. The story follows a thieving crew led by criminal mastermind Kaz Brekker, who plots to break into a high-security prison. The novel is primarily set in the city of Ketterdam, which is loosely inspired by Dutch Republic–era Amsterdam. The plot is told from third-person viewpoints of five (seven if the opening and closing chapters are considered) different characters.

The novel is the first of a duology, completed in Crooked Kingdom (2016). An additional novella named Six of Crows: A Darker Shore, set after the duology, was published in June 2026. The series is part of Bardugo's Grishaverse. Main character Nina Zenik's storyline continues in the King of Scars duology: King of Scars (2019) and Rule of Wolves (2021), with the other Crows making brief cameos in the latter. They are also featured in the Netflix television series Shadow and Bone (2021–2023), the series' first season giving them an original storyline, including time with characters from Shadow and Bone like Nikolai Lantsov and Genya Safin.
