THE ECHO OF EMPIRES
SPRING 2027
A cunning tailor
A thrill-seeking pirate
A very small and very angry assassin
Each become bound to beasts of legend who have just awoken from a thousand year banishment.
In order to break the dangerous link, the three former street rats and their monstrous counterparts must crash a Royal Wedding to steal the only object that could free them from one another, accidentally unraveling an empire while they’re at it.
Praise for The Echo of Empires
Shameen Abubakar is a New Jersey native who spent the summers of her childhood in Karachi and now lives in Los Angeles. She works in Marketing at Walt Disney Studios, reading scripts when she’s not reading books, drinking chai and wistfully looking out train windows (or pretending to while stuck in traffic on the 405 because she’s perpetually mourning the lack of trains in LA). She grew up getting overly attached to side characters that received little to no screentime or died in the third act. She now writes about friendship in all forms, places that could be people, magic – the obvious and not – and side characters who’ve inadvertently found themselves on the mainstage.
Shameen is represented by Keir Alekseii at Azantian Literary Agency
