Description

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 womans 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 Oceans most notorious pirates, shes 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 shes tracked down by the obscenely wealthy mother of a former crewman, shes offered a job no bandit could refuse: retrieve her comrades 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 familys future forever? It seems like such an obvious choice that it must be Gods will. Yet the deeper Amina dives, the more it becomes alarmingly clear theres more to this job, and the girls disappearance, than she was led to believe. For theres 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.
