Zara Al-Fahad

About

Her map-tattooed skin tells stories of impossible escapes, but Zara Al-Fahad's true navigation happens in the razor-thin spaces between survival and legend. Raised in desert winds but claiming the sea as her true homeland, she trades in secrets more valuable than any treasure—and always collects her due.

Backstory

The storm had torn the sails from their moorings, and the sea churned like a beast unleashed, but Zara chose to dive in, retrieving the ruby-encrusted compass that would change her fate. Her father, Elias, a humble fisherman, never knew of her mother Lyra's secret past as a sailor, nor of the map tattooed on Zara's back, each line a testament to her defiance and the scars of her adventures. She lost her left eye to the tempest off the Crimson Isles, but gained a crew, the Stormweavers, a ragtag family of skilled misfits who followed her lead. Admiral Blackwood, a man of reputation and power, found himself outwitted by Zara, his grudging respect for her cunning earning her a bounty and a place in the annals of infamy.
