The Tapestry of Fate

Amina al-Sirafi thinks she has struck gold. Hired to hunt down arcane artifacts for the council of immortal peris, she can enjoy the occasional rollicking voyage with her criminal crew while still going home to raise her daughter, Marjana. Then Raksh, the spirit of discord she is reluctantly married to, provokes the council's wrath, and Amina is charged with a seemingly impossible task: steal a spindle capable of rewriting fate from a mysterious sorceress on an island no one can escape.

Leaving behind Marjana, who is increasingly frustrated by the lies she is told about her mother's life and her own past, Amina finds the mission in peril almost at once. Deadly storms, an erratic poison mistress and old enemies are the least of her worries, because the peris' story is unraveling and hints at a far more dangerous game. Her adversary is more cunning and powerful than any she has faced, and not everyone on her crew wants her to win.

The Tapestry of Fate is the second book in Shannon A. Chakraborty's Amina al-Sirafi series, a medieval Indian Ocean fantasy of pirates, spirits and ancient magic that follows The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi. It was published by Harper Voyager in May 2026.
