On the way, she falls unconscious due to her wound. Inej prepares to take her own life to avoid capture, but Kaz finds her and carries her to the schooner. Oomen, one of the Black Tips, catches her and stabs her in the side she manages to stab him as well, but Inej is badly injured. Shaken, Inej runs for the harbor, but is quickly engaged in the battle at the docks. While on the West Stave buying supplies for the trip to Fjerda, Inej is accosted by Tante Heleen. Inej assesses Matthias Helvar and dresses him for the Komedie Brute so they can escape Hellgate. Inej, wearing a Grey Imp costume, arrives at Hellgate prison for the Hellshow separately from Kaz and Nina. She then follows Kaz to his rooms, where Kaz explains they were hired for a job for Jan Van Eck. When Kaz returns to the Slat to report to Per Haskell, Inej spies on their conversation from a hidden grate in a closet on the second floor. After the parley concludes, Inej fires Rojakke from the Crow Club on Kaz's orders. She climbs on the roof of the Exchange and prevents stadwatch guard Bert Van Daal from shooting the Dregs.
Inej is at the parley between the Black Tips and the Dregs. Inej earned Nina's trust, being just a few months younger than Nina and also from Ravka, and convinced Nina to join the Dregs. When Nina Zenik arrived in Ketterdam, Inej climbed to Nina's room at the Emerald Palace in the middle of the night and offered her membership in the Dregs. Over time, Kaz gave Inej her first knife, taught her to crack safes and pick pockets, and named her the Wraith. Inej joined the Dregs just days after her fifteenth birthday.
Kaz returned the next night to buy her contract from Heleen and gave Inej the choice to join the Dregs. Inej later approached Kaz and offered to help him but he did not respond and walked away. When Inej first met Kaz Brekker, she overheard him asking Heleen for information about the brothel's clients. She was awakened from a nap and captured by slavers early one morning and subsequently sold to Tante Heleen, the owner of a pleasure house in Ketterdam, where she was forced to work in the Menagerie as an indenture. When she was fourteen, Inej was with her family on the west coast near Os Kervo performing in a summer carnival. Inej was more comfortable on the high wire than even other members of her family and loved the freedom of walking in the air. She learned to walk the high wire barefoot as a young child with her father and cousins, and she only fell once.
Inej grew up traveling around Ravka in Suli caravans and performing acrobatics with her family.
