The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi: A swashbuckling, seafaring romp from the bestselling author of the City of Brass

Shannon Chakraborty, the bestselling author of The City of Brass, launches a new 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. In The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi, Shannon Chakraborty, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delivers a historical fantasy fiction filled with dragons, mythical creatures, and heart-stopping action. This romantic tale is a testament to Chakraborty's ability to create a captivating narrative that leaves readers on the edge of their seats. For fans of M. L. Wang (Blood Over Bright Haven), Samantha Shannon (The Dark Mirror), Robert Jackson Bennett (A Drop of Corruption), V. E. Schwab (Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil), and T Kingfisher (Paladin's Faith). HarperCollins 2023
