Nina Zenik

Nina Zenik is a Heartrender, a Grisha with the rare ability to manipulate the human heart and body from a distance, thrown in with a crew of Ketterdam criminals on a dangerous job. She's sharp-tongued, sensual, deeply loyal to her own kind, and unafraid to flirt her way out of trouble or into it.

Danielle Galligan plays Nina with a hungry, unapologetic appetite for life — for food, for pleasure, for a good fight — that makes her feel like the warmest presence in a very cold world. The writing gives her real ideological stakes as a Grisha among those who'd hunt her, and Galligan never lets the charm outrun the conviction underneath it.
