Books like Nemo by Alan Moore

Twenty‑hundred and seventy‑five. Janni Dakkar—pirate queen of Lincoln Island, heir to the mythic Nemo legacy—has reached the twilight of her life and her grasp on reality. Determined to face the blood‑soaked specters of her past, she sets course for the Amazon, hoping a final expedition will allow her to lay old wounds to rest. Along the way, Janni encounters allies and adversaries both familiar and unfamiliar. From the ruined city of Yu‑Atlanchi to the famed plateau of Maple White Land, she navigates a landscape that intertwines cultural myths with her own haunting memories. As her story deepens, Captain Nemo’s hearse‑black Nautilus charges toward horrors long thought dead. The tale follows her obsessive trek through a strange continent, weaving her personal battles with the wider mythical tapestry of the Amazon and the enduring legend of the Nemo family.
