Come for the irrepressible gremlin of a narrator, stay for the plot-relevant cake competitions! A whip-smart, hilarious, and exuberant high seas romp. -Freya Marske, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Marvellous Light Avra Helvaçi, a former field agent of the Arashti Ministry of Intelligence, has accidentally stolen the single most expensive secret in the world – and the only place to flee with a secret that big is the open sea. To find a buyer with deep enough pockets, Avra must work with his on-again, off-again ex, the pirate Captain Teveri az-Haffar. Together, they will have to risk journeying to the isolated pirate republic of the Isles of Lost Souls. The only things in their way? A calculating new Arashti ambassador to the Isles; Brother Julian, a beautiful, mysterious new member of the crew with secrets of his own; and the fact that they're 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, they'll all be as wealthy as kings – and, more importantly, they'll be legends. -Uproariously funny, exquisitely witty, brimming with buckling of swashes and scuttling of butts -Premee Mohamed, Nebula Award-winning author of Beneath the Rising\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 680g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 242 x 160 x 35 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529099706\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexandra Rowland","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46233854542074,"sku":"9781529099706","price":14.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1718386799481_book.jpg?v=1718437246","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/running-close-to-the-wind-a-queer-pirate-fantasy-adventure-full-of-magic-and-mayhem-9781529099706","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
