{SECOND PLACE WINNER OF THE WOCA2018 FOR ADVENTURE SECOND PLACE WINNER OF THE NIGHTTIME AWARDS FOR ACTION/ADVENTURE} Evie's father is a traitor, but she doesn't see it that way. He didn't desert, no. Something terrible happened to him, she just knows it. But she can tell you the name of a true traitor: her would-be crew mate Myles. He's lazy, he's self serving, and he's given up on the only family he's ever known. The choices of two young pirates set in motion a greater test of right and wrong, while their Captain does all he can to protect them and the world they love. The King is dying, and his daughter is next in line. The Queen is suspected of foul play, and disappears. The pirate league squabbles and a power struggle ensues. Families break apart and new alliances form. The only question is, who's side you will be on. ***** "The descriptions to start the story really helped set the tone quickly and drew me in." -@Marclh "Beautiful imagery in this prologue. It reads High Fantasy with a side of gothic adventure novel..." -@tlryder "...you gave me just enough information that I felt like I knew the crew already. I mean great job with that." -@JRShepherd COVER PHOTO GENEROUSLY PROVIDED BY NARCISSE NAVARRE @inksorcery Copyright ©️ 2018 All content, characters, and concepts are original and created by Kelsey Kepler and may not be used for advertisement.

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld. Credits for the cover go to an absolutely amazing cover artist and fellow writer Narcisse Navarre @InkSorcery. The Prophecy of Water is ONLY available on Wattpad. If you are reading this anywhere else, it is a plagiarized version that may contain malware. ⭐⭐⭐ 📘 Shortlisted in Watty2018 awards (October 5th, 2018) 📘 Featured on "WONDERLAND | Wondrous Worlds" reading list on @HighFantasy (April 8th, 2019) 📘 Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020 🥇 Action/Adventure - Insidious Awards 2020

After a century of contending with Pertuli's dogged silence, Riposte Clasicant has at last won the only clue in a mystery that weighs heavily on his heart. Will his satisfaction survive a lethal encounter with a mysterious woman from his past? In Silver Blades novellas, we follow the adventures of Rip Clasicant, who for reasons of his own has neglected both duty and honor in recent decades. His debauchery rubs his peers the wrong way, and often they seek restitution in blood. Only superior skill with a blade has kept him alive thus far. Pertuli, his sarcastic but well-meaning sidekick, has doubts about the direction his friend's fortune is taking. Silver Blades: Prize Fight is a stand-alone story which takes place after the events in Silver Blades: A Duel Nature. --------------- "Full of action, adventure, witty puns and memorable characters.
