When his daughter and son-in-law are brutally murdered, Master Zo vows to do anything to keep his grandson, Spark, safe. He teaches Spark how to fight, defend himself, and helps him increase his stamina, speed, and agility. When another child, Ace, falls from the sky, he joins in this regime and the two become brothers. They grow stronger together, locked away from the world in their remote cabin. But a meteor hits Earth infusing the boys with new abilities, just in time to save Earth from a race of aliens intent on destroying humanity. As the boys embark on their new journey, they meet three people with similar powers and the five become a team. While the brothers fight to save their planet, they have magical, but very different experiences along the way. One will find love and friendship, while the other falls into a trap of anger and power. Can their bond survive the war or will their years of training and friendship be for nothing?

It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.
