Overview
A retired legendary pirate captain of the medieval Indian Ocean is pulled back for one more job to save her family, in a swashbuckling adventure steeped in Islamicate myth, magic, and a found-family crew. Set a thousand years before the author's Daevabad trilogy, in the same broader world of djinn and marids but with an unrelated cast and story.
