Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Kaj is the ruthless leader of the Dregs gang. He and his band of misfits (Inej, Nina, Jesper, Massiah, & Wylan) are tasked with breaking Bo Yul-Bayur out of the impenetrable Ferdjan prison at the Ice Court. Bo is an inventor of a powerful addictive drug that gives super powers to Grisha soldiers. Once inside, it is discovered that Bo is dead, and Kaj breaks out his son, who is the only remaining person that can recreate the drug. Each of Kaj's accomplices has their own personal demons and special talents that will keep the reader enthralled. After Kaj and company finally escape the Ice Court thanks to Nina's powers, Inej is kidnapped while Kaj attempts to collect their reward. Six of Crows is a high fantasy novel, and readers will definitely want to pick up the sequel.
