A whip-smart, hilarious and exuberant high seas romp."โFreya Marske, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Marvellous Light A LitHub most anticipated book of 2024 Avra Helvaรงi, former field agent of the Araลti Ministry of Intelligence, has accidentally stolen the single most expensive secret in the worldโand 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-แธคaffฤr. 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 Araลti ambassador to the Isles of Lost Souls whoโs got his eyes on Avraโs 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 theyโre 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, theyโll all be as wealthy as kingsโand, more important, theyโll be legends. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
