Synopsis
Hanna has spent her life hearing about the adventures of her namesake Ananna, the lady pirate, and assassin Naji. She dreams of the same adventures, but little does she know she is about to tumble into one of her own. Hanna is apprenticed to a taciturn fisherman called Kolur, and, during a day of storms and darkness, are swept wildly off course.
In this strange new land, Kolur hires a stranger to join the crew and, rather than heading home, sets a course for the dangerous island of Jadanvar. As Hanna meets a secretive merboy, and learns that Kolur has a deadly past, she soon realises that wishing for adventures is a dangerous game - because those wishes might come true.

Review
Praise and Reviews: "Unique, heart-wrenching, full of mysteries and twists!" - Tamora Pierce, author of Alanna: The First Adventure and other Tortall novels "Its fluid prose, naturalistic dialogue and pace make The Assassin's Curse supremely readable. And in Ananna, the young offspring of pirate stock, we have a heroine both spirited and memorable." - Stan Nicholls, author of the Orcs: First Blood trilogy "An inventive debut with a strong narrative voice, a glimpse of an intriguing new world." - Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of the Shadows of the Apt series "Ananna of Tanarau is a delightfully irascible heroine, inhabiting a fascinating and fresh new world that I would love to spend more time in. Pirate ships? Camels? Shadow dwelling assassins? Yes please! Can I have some more?" - Celine Kiernan, author of the Moorhawke trilogy "Inventive and individual storytelling about engaging and intriguing characters." - Juliet E McKenna, author of the Tales of the Einarinn and The Chronicles of the Lescari Revolution "An exciting and original YA novel with magic, pirates, myth and adventure, The Assassin's Curse will hook you in and keep you tugging on the line for the next book in Clarke's series." - Serena Chase, USA Today "An enjoying, compelling read with a strong and competent narrator - a highly satisfying adventure." - SFX Magazine "A kick-ass pirate heroine gets into and out of (mostly into) trouble in this invigorating fantasy." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The Assassin's Curse is a fantastic debut for Cassandra Rose Clark. I thought the book was fabulous and I want book two now!" - Mieneke van der Salm, A Fantastical Librarian "a fun, quite often snarky, action-adventure tale filled with sorcery and elemental magic, political intrigue, strange and sometimes ethereal places, and interesting creatures." - Merikay Noah, Popcorn Reads
