A New York Times Bestseller! "A thrilling, transportative adventure
that is everything promised-Chakraborty's storytelling is fantasy
at its best." -- R.F. Kuang, #1 New York Times bestselling author
of Babel and The Poppy War "An exhilarating, propulsive adventure,
stitched from the threads of real history, Amina's adventures are
the reason to read fantasy." -- Ava Reid, internationally
bestselling author of Juniper & Thorn Shannon Chakraborty, the
bestselling author of The City of Brass, spins a new trilogy of
magic and mayhem on the high seas in this tale of pirates and
sorcerers, forbidden artifacts and ancient mysteries, in one
woman's determined quest to seize a final chance at glory--and
write her own legend. Amina al-Sirafi should be content. After a
storied and scandalous career as one of the Indian Ocean's most
notorious pirates, she's survived backstabbing rogues, vengeful
merchant princes, several husbands, and one actual demon to retire
peacefully with her family to a life of piety, motherhood, and
absolutely nothing that hints of the supernatural. But when she's
tracked down by the obscenely wealthy mother of a former crewman,
she's offered a job no bandit could refuse: retrieve her comrade's
kidnapped daughter for a kingly sum. The chance to have one last
adventure with her crew, do right by an old friend, and win a
fortune that will secure her family's future forever? It seems like
such an obvious choice that it must be God's will. Yet the deeper
Amina dives, the more it becomes alarmingly clear there's more to
this job, and the girl's disappearance, than she was led to
believe. For there's always risk in wanting to become a legend, to
seize one last chance at glory, to savor just a bit more
power...and the price might be your very soul.
