Summary
Shannon Chakraborty, the bestselling author of The City of Brass, launches a trilogy of magic and mayhem with this tale of pirates and sorcerers, forbidden artefacts and ancient mysteries, and one woman’s quest to seize a final chance at glory...
A pirate of infamy and one of the most storied and scandalous captains to sail the seven seas.
Amina al-Sirafi has 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 offered a job no bandit could refuse, she jumps at the chance for one final adventure with her old crew that will make her a legend and offers a fortune that will secure her and her family’s future forever.
Yet the deeper Amina dives the higher the stakes. For there’s always risk in wanting to become a legend, to seize one last chance at glory, to savour just a bit more power...and the price might be your very soul.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic reviews
"Chakraborty's seafaring adventure is pure incandescence and adrenaline. Readers will leave these pages with their lungs full of ocean air, their fingertips glittered with magic and their hearts a little heavier for being both smitten and heartbroken by its finely drawn, poignant cast of characters. This is a book I will daydream of for years to come." (Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves)
"Chakraborty delivers again with a captivating story of motherhood, faith, friendship, dangerous magic, and hijinks on the high seas. Amina al-Sirafi is now my favorite pirate captain and I’m on board to follow all her adventures." (Fonda Lee, author of The Green Bone Saga)
"Chakraborty’s latest unfurls like a scroll of ancient parchment, conjuring realer-than-life monsters, menacing magic, and a heroine with a gnarled, beating heart. An exhilarating, propulsive adventure, stitched from the threads of real history, Amina’s adventures are the reason to read fantasy. I’ll follow this captain and her crew anywhere." (Ava Reid, international bestselling author of The Wolf and the Woodsman)

Magical adventures & swashbuckling galore
I loved this! Strong characters, lyrical storytelling, some very, very funny bits & some sad bits too. Also some excellent swearing. I kept thinking it was like a better, funnier, more feminist version of Sinbad the Sailor.

A great adventure with excellent narration
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, and am looking forward to hearing more of adventures Amina’s adventures. I think the narration really made the story more absorbing, I’m not sure if I’d have felt as pulled in if reading a hard copy.

Loved everything about this
Particularly the heroine but also the world itself and the way it was modern while keeping to a classic adventure tale and some second chance romance…ish.

Distinctly average
No moment that particularly stood out, but a good character and a fun enough romp.

Mesmerizing
I loved this book and enjoyed it beyond what I expected initially!
The premises and characters are a breath of fresh air. Amina is one of my top female characters of all time. The depth of her character and all characters for that matter, is amazing. She’s far from a shallow idealist, we see her as a mother, a warrior , a wife and a friend each side is more relatable than the other. The world building and fight scenes are world class too. The narrator deserves her flowers too. She did an excellent job of capturing each character essence and voicing emotions.
