A queer pirate fantasy standalone adventure by Alexandra Rowland, the author of A Taste of Gold and Iron"Come for the irrepressible gremlin of a narrator, stay for the plot-relevant cake competitions! A whip-smart, hilarious and exuberant high seas romp."-Freya Marske, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Marvellous Light
A LitHub most anticipated book of 2024Avra Helvaçi, former field agent of the Aräti Ministry of Intelligence, has accidentally stolen the single most expensive secret in the world-and the only place to flee with a secret that big is the open sea.
To find a buyer with deep enough pockets, Avra must ask for help from his on-again, off-again ex, the pirate Captain Teveri az-H¿aff¿r. They are far from happy to see him, but together, they hatch a plan: take the information to the isolated pirate republic of the Isles of Lost Souls, fence it, profit. The only things in their way? A calculating new Aräti ambassador to the Isles of Lost Souls who's got his eyes on Avra's every move; Brother Julian, a beautiful, mysterious new member of the crew with secrets of his own and a frankly inconvenient vow of celibacy; the fact that they're sailing straight into sea serpent breeding season and almost certain doom.
But if they can find a way to survive and sell the secret on the black market, they'll all be as wealthy as kings-and, more important, they'll be
legends.
