Discover this spellbinding debut from S.A. Chakraborty. `An extravagant feast of a book - spicy and bloody, dizzyingly magical, and still, somehow, utterly believable' Laini Taylor, Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author

Amina al-Sirafi ha sobrevivido a traiciones, a prâincipes vengativos, a varios maridos y a un autâentico demonio para retirarse pacâificamente con su familia a una vida de devociâon y maternidad, alejada de cualquier cuestiâon sobrenatural. Sin embargo, cuando le ofrecen un encargo que ningâun bandido podrâia rechazar, aprovecha la oportunidad de vivir una âultima aventura con su antigua tripulaciâon; una hazaäna que la convertirâa en leyenda y le ofrecerâa una fortuna que asegure para siempre su futuro y el de su familia. No obstante, cuanto mâas se involucra, mâas alto es el riesgo. Porque siempre es peligroso querer convertirte en leyenda, sentir la gloria, saborear un poco mâas de poder... Y el precio podrâia ser tu propia alma.

Among the bustling markets of eighteenth century Cairo, the city's outcasts eke out a living swindling rich Ottoman nobles and foreign invaders alike. But alongside this new world the old stories linger. Tales of djinn and spirits. Of cities hidden among the swirling sands of the desert, full of enchantment, desire and riches.

Shannon Chakraborty, the bestselling author of The City of Brass, spins a new trilogy of magic and mayhem on the high seas in this tale of pirates and sorcerers, forbidden artifacts and ancient mysteries, in one woman's determined quest to seize a final chance at glory?and write her own legend.Amina al-Sirafi should be content. After a storied and scandalous career as one of the Indian Ocean's most notorious pirates, she's 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 tracked down by the obscenely wealthy mother of a former crewman, she's offered a job no bandit could refuse: retrieve her comrade's kidnapped daughter for a kingly sum. The chance to have one last adventure with her crew, do right by an old friend, and win a fortune that will secure her family's future forever? It seems like such an obvious choice that it must be God's will.Yet the deeper Amina dives, the more it becomes alarmingly clear there's more to this job, and the girl's disappearance, than she was led to believe. For there's always risk in wanting to become a legend, to seize one last chance at glory, to savor just a bit more power...and the price might be your very soul.

Bestselling author S.A. Chakraborty's acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy is expanded with this compilation of stories from before, during, and after the events of The City of Brass, The Kingdom of Copper, and The Empire of Gold.
