Karukera

Nea is Yeeyi Fari, Karukera's most renowned mercenary. At twenty-five, she spends her days fulfilling missions for the crown and acquiring precious and rare goods for her clientele of pirates.

But her heart is no longer in it. This island, which welcomed her when she was four, is as much a synonym for home as it is for prison. Nea has a debt to repay to the Queen, and memories too painful to bear.

Yet, when Governor Oluwaseyi summons her for an important mission (accompany Jahan, an emissary from Anshar, across the island), she finally sees her future opening before her. If the emissary is safely escorted to the palace, Nea will be free from her debt.

Free.

But Karukera is not for novices, and Nea and Jahan each have their own agenda. Between the assassins on their tails, the obstacles the island will throw in their way, and the emissary himself, who has an oversized ego and seems shrouded in mystery, the journey will not be without its challenges...
