A princess in search of her past. A boy driven by money. A crew that is loyal to the end. Princess Ria is adopted, and she has lived with the acceptance that she will never know her real parents. But when she learns of the existence of her adoption document that was kept hidden from her all her life, the desire to know her past is triggered. She is determined to get her hands on it and she sets off on an adventure aboard the Opal with her childhood friend--an army lieutenant--and a crew of cunning sea drifters. She hires this group to plan and execute a heist to retrieve the document, but when she obtains it, she finds more than what she is looking for--something that can root doubt in the people of the kingdom and threaten her brother's throne. On her journey, she works with Gin, a sea drifter and a concresi--one with the ability to influence tangible non-living materials. For years, he has worked on grand thievery jobs, gaining a reputation for the Opal. He is a skilled dredger, and undefeated in coin dives. Despite his past, he is strong minded but bad history had its way of sowing cynicism in him. He cares about money and his crewmates, nothing more. To him, the rich are all the same selfish and egocentric people, and he sees Ria as one of them. Ria and Gin don't trust each other but when plans go awry, they are forced to set aside their differences to survive. Running for their lives across the Kingdom of the Draga Isles, a friendship grows between them and blooms into a forbidden passion that neither of them has expected. * * Inspired by the Bajau (sea nomads) in the Philippines. * Completed Draft 0 * #Romantasy #Fantasy #Steampunk #Romance #Adventure #YoungAdult #Action * #20 in #FantasyRomance (out of 23K stories) (04/30/23) #2 in #FilipinoAuthor (05/29/23) #12 in #Filipino (07/09/23) #3 in #Steampunk (05/28/23) #16 in #Heist (05/27/23) #10 in #Gypsy (05/27/23)

He also races carts down a hill, a popular pastime of the street children of Spring Heights, where not dying or getting injured is a good outcome. ***Official Wattpad Reading Lists featured in: Superhero -- February reading list Adventure -- Middle-grade reading list Undiscovered Stories -- Thrill Seekers reading list Wattpad Urban -- Urban Fantasy reading list Children's Fiction -- Age 10 - 12 English Crime -- Kicking Ass &Taking Names Fantasy -- Middle Grade and Children's Fantasy Fantasy -- Featured Fantasy Stories Action -- Adventure in Action General Fiction -- Live Life While You Can Superhero -- No Power, No Problem

What would you do if your body and your kingdom were stolen? [A FEATURED STORY] Uther is a young prince who's reluctantly thrust into having to defend his throne against his usurping uncle and all-around powerful wizard, who uses his powers to steal the one thing Uther thought he couldn't take: his own body. After becoming the villain of the realm in an instant, Uther struggles to find anyone that will believe his story. His uncle's unsavory reputation lands him with a family of dark fae, a goblin, and a troll--not the usual team of knightly heroes. Together, this odd team will untangle a web of curses, escape bounty hunters, and confront fae. If Uther can't figure out how to reverse his uncle's curse, he'll be trapped in a body that's not his own--doomed to be a villain--for the rest of his life.
