To break their unwanted bonds to legendary beasts, three street rats reunite and set sail on a daring quest to crash a royal wedding and pull off the heist of the century in this debut young adult fantasy for fans of Six of Crows and Sabaa Tahir.
A cunning tailor.
A thrill-seeking pirate.
An unconventional assassin.
The heist that could unravel an empire.
Soha Khosrani knows how to make a deal.
Born and bred in Joot, a crowded port city teeming with gang lords, bureaucrats, and heiresses, Soha is an upstart tailor with an unhealthy appetite for risk who falls somewhere in between all of the above.
Just as Soha is on the cusp of the biggest deal of her career, Rostam—a fiery monster of legend—destroys her precious tailor shop. Awoken from a thousand-year banishment arranged by his siblings, Rostam has returned furious, vengeful, and tied to Soha through a ring she discovered in her childhood.
To make matters worse, Soha’s past then crashes onto her doorstep when both her childhood nemesis and assassin sister return to Joot, bound to Rostam’s brother and sister. In order to break the dangerous bonds, the three former street rats and their monstrous counterparts must crash the royal wedding and steal the only object that might free them from one another…even if it means offering up an entire empire as collateral.
