A LitHub most anticipated book of 2024
Avra Helva├зi, former field agent of the Ara┼Яti Ministry of Intelligence, has accidentally stolen the single most expensive secret in the worldтАФand 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-с╕дaff─Бr. 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 Ara┼Яti ambassador to the Isles of Lost Souls whoтАЩs got his eyes on AvraтАЩs 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 theyтАЩre 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, theyтАЩll all be as wealthy as kingsтАФand, more important, theyтАЩll be legends.
