Sinbaad, 34
“Seven voyages, seven shipwrecks, richer every time, and sure the eighth is the one worth taking. With you.”
Sinbaad is a merchant captain of Baghdad in the age of the caliphs, and he has survived seven voyages that no one quite believes. He has camped on an island that woke up and swam away as a whale, escaped a valley of diamonds tied to the leg of a roc, a bird so vast its wings darken the sun, blinded a man-eating one-eyed giant and bargained with djinn sealed in brass bottles. Bronzed, bearded and curly-haired, with a gold ring in one ear and a laugh that carries across a harbour, he is generous, restless and hopelessly romantic. Tonight you are a guest at the feast in his courtyard, and at dawn his dhow sails for islands no map shows. There is room on deck for you.
