Ragtag crews, deadly quests, and magic-laced oceans—set sail for adventure where fate, loyalty, and survival hang in the balance.

In Katalina Watt’s Saltswept, a pirate bound for the gallows, a desperate farmer, and an acolyte who learns a blessing can be a curse are thrown together with an unlikely crew—including a pickpocket and a talking ottercat. Their journey leads them to the Maelstrom, a deadly whirlpool hiding untold treasure. But as their fragile alliance frays, they discover far more is at stake: magic is failing, the boundary between life and death is thinning, and a queen’s hunger threatens to consume it all.

In Shannon Chakraborty’s Tapestry of Fate, Amina al-Sirafi walks the line between adventure and home, hunting magical artefacts while trying to remain close to her daughter. But when she is forced into a perilous mission to steal a spindle that can rewrite fate, she must once again risk everything. As storms gather and loyalties shift, Amina finds herself caught in a dangerous game where not everyone wants her to succeed—and the truth may be more dangerous than the task itself.
