About the Book: Set sail on a queer, high-stakes adventure in this rollicking pirate tale where Avra Helvaçi, former intelligence agent, has stolen the world’s most expensive secret and must escape across treacherous seas. Teaming up with his on-again, off-again ex, Captain Teveri az-Haffar, and a crew full of secrets—including the enigmatic Brother Julian—they navigate the perilous Isles of Lost Souls, sea-serpent breeding season, and rival agents out to claim the treasure. Bursting with humor, intrigue, romance, and swashbuckling thrills, this novel blends the witty charm of Our Flag Means Death with the adventurous plotting of Six of Crows.
