Inej's Knives

Item from Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Sankt Petyr and Sankta Alina — named after saints, sharp enough to end arguments, and the only weapons carried by a girl who prays before she kills.

Inej names her knives after saints — a practice that captures everything about her character in a single detail. She is devout, lethal, and sees no contradiction between faith and violence when the violence serves justice. Sankt Petyr and Sankta Alina are her primary weapons, used for both throwing and close combat. The act of naming weapons after saints is Suli tradition meeting Barrel reality — the sacred and the profane, prayer and bloodshed, in perfect balance.

Appearance
