Imagine The Darkling In Ketterdam - Tumblr Posts

So I just started reading Siege and Storm and it was revealed that the Darkling found Alina and Mal in Novyi Zem because they had traded her golden hair pins instead of using money. He said they left “a very expensive trail.”

In Shadow and Bone 1x08, the Crows agreed to not try to kidnap Alina again but Kaz was bitter about it and said “You are quite valuable, you know” and Alina gave him her hair piece and said “So is this.”

Alina said that the hair piece wasn’t a gift, but a payment so the Crows would keep quiet about where she went from that point on (which implies that they know where she intended to hide). Kaz intended to use the hair piece to pay off Inej’s indenture and get the Crow Club back from Heleen, so he is probably going to pawn it or lead a trail back to himself.

I’m wondering if this will foreshadow the events of Siege and Storm in SAB season 2…
