DescriptionShannon Chakraborty, the bestselling author of The City of Brass, invites readers into a thrilling new trilogy of magic, adventure, and high-seas hijinks with The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi. This spellbinding tale delves into a world of pirates and sorcerers, forbidden artefacts, and ancient mysteries, all centred on one audacious woman's quest for one last chance at glory.
Amina al-Sirafi is a pirate of unparalleled infamy, renowned as one of the most storied and scandalous captains ever to sail the seven seas. After surviving a myriad of dangers—including treacherous rogues, vengeful merchant princes, multiple husbands, and even a demon—Amina has retired to a serene life of piety, motherhood, and mundanity, far removed from the supernatural escapades of her past. Her quiet days are filled with the simple joys of family and a newfound sense of peace.
However, this tranquillity is shattered when Amina is presented with a tantalising offer that no self-respecting bandit could refuse: a job that not only promises her one final, exhilarating adventure but also the potential to secure a fortune that could safeguard her family's future forever. Tempted by the allure of one last high-stakes quest, Amina assembles her old crew, ready to dive headfirst into a tapestry of intrigue and danger.
As Amina plunges deeper into this perilous journey, the risks mount higher than she ever imagined. For with the pursuit of legendary status comes great peril, and the desire to grasp that final slice of power can exact an unimaginable toll. In her quest to become a legend once more, Amina may find that the ultimate price is her very soul.
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi is a captivating blend of swashbuckling action and rich, magical lore, promising to ensnare readers with its intricate plot and unforgettable characters. Chakraborty's masterful storytelling ensures that this thrilling narrative will leave you eagerly awaiting the next instalment in the series.
