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." - Dust jacket 650 0 $a Women ship captains $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women pirates $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Quests (Expeditions) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Pirates $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jinn $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Kidnapping $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sea stories. 650 0 $a Twelfth century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Indian Ocean Region $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 710 2 $a Harper Large Print, $e publisher. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230902011125.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230524010314.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52284B8AF9F811EDB1C0740753ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
