Daughters of Empire Paperback Bundle: Books 1–3, Legacy of Loot, Silent Pledge, Shadows of the Sun

Three women. Stolen histories. Conspiracies that never ended.

The Daughters of Empire paperback bundle by Rose Sandy brings together Books 1–3 of this female-led espionage and conspiracy thriller series: Legacy of Loot, Silent Pledge and Shadows of the Sun. Begin the series in reading order with three paperbacks exploring stolen artefacts, political manipulation and the deadly secrets of empire.

Follow Sania Qureshi, a forensic accountant and hacker; Aryssa Oluska, a field operative; and Inaya Al-Sayed, who can become anyone in seven languages. Their complementary skills take them from London's archives and freight yards to Mayfair studies, Geneva, Dubai, Malaysia, India and Jamaica. Following the evidence means confronting powerful institutions, compromised insiders and threats that reach into their own families.

Book 1: Legacy of Loot

A sealed ledger and a shipment leaving in seventy-two hours draw Sania into a small informal unit run by Kwame Darko. With Aryssa and Inaya, she investigates the Order of Imperial Legacy, a respectable charity whose Paris foundation, auction house and century of provenance conceal a history that cannot withstand scrutiny. The evidence lies in an archive, a Beckton freight yard and the journals of a woman who recorded what was taken. But someone inside the unit is passing messages, someone at Kew is changing the catalogue, and Interpol investigator Eric Nenton is coming to London. The crates are about to leave. The truth is not ready.

Book 2: Silent Pledge

A pledge signed on the last night of the Raj leads Aryssa to the Wardens, a secret circle binding imperial history to present-day political power. Elections in Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria are being steered by Lord Ashton Pembroke, while a Foreign Office insider leaks the Special Cases Directorate's secrets. When Sania uncovers Aryssa's grandmother's initials in a financial schedule, a death dismissed as natural becomes personal. Aryssa assumes the identity of Dr. Miriam Nankya to dine with those responsible, while Inaya follows Marcus Kain from Geneva to Dubai. Aryssa's brother is being watched, journalist Jamie Kendran is asking difficult questions, and Pembroke knows who is coming to dinner.

Book 3: Shadows of the Sun

A schoolteacher's journal hidden beneath a kitchen floor in Kerala records metal cases buried around independence. Now forty-seven sealed stores of gas lie beneath a solar company's sites in fifteen countries, and a machine called LATHOM has learned how to wake them. After disasters in Kerala, Selangor and Jamaica kill six hundred and one people, the Special Cases Directorate sends Sania to her grandmother's village, Aryssa into a solar campus in Shah Alam and Inaya to Whitlow Cove as an insurance adjuster. Behind the system sits Margaret Sutcliffe, who has read all three women's files. With forty-four sites still at risk and a seventy-two-hour countdown running, Inaya encounters Spanish journalist Damian Ibarra, a man determined to record the names of the dead.
