Chakraborty has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I loved the Deavabad series and eagerly dived into this new series!

Amina al-Sirafi is a notorious pirate now retired with her daughter, leading a quiet life. One day someone with a tie to her past comes knocking and Amina is forced to leave her retirement and daughter to search for a missing person. As she gathers a gang to complete this mission, she begins to find that her employer wasn’t telling the full truth about the missing person and what dark magic may be surrounding them.

There is so much to say about this book, but I don’t want to spoil anything more. Please read this book if you love pirates, found family, magic, and morally grey characters!

(Thank you to the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. )
