Brilliance and power are two sides of the same coin. Nova's life plays out exactly how she orders it to-- but she's starting to feel like she's giving the wrong demands. Ambition lives deep inside every bone of her talented body, and there's very little that deters her. As she crafts her legacy, she'll keep to her rules, and uncertainty will stay far away from her. The King of the Sea has never doubted himself for a moment. And yet, when his precious ship is attacked in the dead of night by Sirens, Vallin finds himself struggling to maintain his confidence. The only way out of the cell he sits in is to win a mind game against someone drastically smarter than him. They'd both die for adventure. But who's willing to live for it? * Cover by xxsoteria Rated mature for graphic depictions of themes further detailed in the information chapter. This is the prologue to the Venture Series.

Dead people are pulling strings. Archer Kingsley is playing chess, and although he may have the upper hand, his opponent hides behind a veil of familiarity that just can't be placed by seemingly anyone. And as much as Archer would like to think he's winning, he knows there's a third player- somebody who holds none of the pieces but knows how to flip the board. Archer is determined to find the map to Myria's chest before it falls into the wrong hands, but he's not entirely sure what happens when he finds it. And above all, he's intent on figuring out who the mastermind behind this game is. There's chaos coming. * Cover by xxsoteria Rated mature for graphic depictions of themes further detailed in the information chapter. This is book two in the Venture Series. It is not standalone and requires the knowledge of the first book.

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.

❝poisonous fangs can only reap poisonous fruit.❞ Nerluce - named for light - dwells in darkness. It was forged from the shadows of the great beasts, who flash their cruel fangs and crueler insults, who seek to choke the light from his chest with their iron chains, who despise all who are not like them. Disdain for gods and men is made in dim places. Hunger for ruin is cultivated on a starving stomach. Power for destruction is rarely given but when it is, oh, the world will burn.
