The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi

A tale of pirates and sorcerers, forbidden artefacts and ancient mysteries on the high seas of the medieval Indian Ocean.

Amina al-Sirafi should be content. After a storied and scandalous career as one of the Indian Ocean’s most notorious pirates, she has survived backstabbing rogues, vengeful merchant princes, several husbands and one actual demon to retire peacefully with her family.

But when the wealthy mother of a former crewman tracks her down, she is offered a job no bandit could refuse: rescue her old comrade’s kidnapped daughter for a kingly sum. One last adventure with her crew, a chance to do right by an old friend, and a fortune to secure her family’s future – yet the deeper Amina dives, the clearer it becomes that there is more to this job than she was told.
