Serpent Sea Ibrahim Maiya (2025)

An epic, sandswept adventure and the dual-perspective sequel to the Sunday Times bestseller Spice Road, this romantic, action-packed fantasy is set in an Arabian-inspired land. Imani once swore to protect her home from the monsters roaming the desert, but now an even worse enemy threatens the Sahir. As the Harrowlanders march south with their stolen magic, the invasion is only a matter of time. The only chance for survival is a dangerous alliance with Qayn, a djinni king. If Imani journeys with him beyond the sands to restore his lost powers, he will summon a supernatural army to save her people. Meanwhile, her rival Taha has been captured and is on a dangerous mission of his own. One wrong move could cost them their lives and everyone they love. Yet there may be more to crossing the Serpent Sea than meets the eye, and betrayal cuts deeper than any dagger.
