But somehow the skiff made it out and the volcra were destroyed by some kind of device. Two weeks ago, Alexei crossed through the Fold on an expedition that was swarmed by volcra. Dreesen reluctantly agrees and leads the Crows into his cellar, where he has Alexei Stepanov tied to a chair. The Crows secure this job by taking Milana, the Orchid’s Heartrender to Dreesen’s estate, where they demand exclusive rights to the job. The Crows then intercept a letter from Dreesen for the owner of the Orchid saying that they require the services of a Heartrender before midnight. Jesper and Inej contemplate letting the job go, as it's too much of a risk, but Kaz is determined to find a way. To destroy the Fold, they would require a Sun Summoner, though such a Grisha doesn’t exist. The Fold was created hundreds of years ago by a Shadow Summoner known as the Black Heretic. More than a century ago they attempted to do so, but something heard them digging. Jesper questions why hasn’t anyone ever tried going under. The Crows search for ways to safely cross the Shadow Fold after getting word of a one million kruge job. He then instructs Jesper to get back on the door. Kaz approaches the table, slamming his cane down before reminding Jesper that loud noises startle off the pigeons. He flips the coin in the air and shoots a hole through the coin, confirming his suspicions.
Jesper has a seat at the gambling table where he becomes suspicious when a patron attempts to pay with Zemeni coins after the casino up the block has reported the use of counterfeit coins.
