There is nothing worse for a pirate than dying on dry land. Except, maybe, swinging two feet above it. When their captain is imprisoned, facing the gallows, the men and women of the Lady Lesya's crew will try everything to break him out--even if it means fighting guards in ridiculous uniforms, bargaining with overweight monsters, and risking the life of the more or less innocent. Add vengeful local thugs, a mysterious killer with a grudge, and some unexpected ghosts to this already perilous task, and the streets of Puerto Seguro turn into a bloodbath. To get out of the town alive, the brethren of the coast will have to act not just as a crew, but as a family. ___________________ As it's a pirate story not created by Disney, expect strong language, violence, gore, and allusion to sex. But also humor, strong characters, and a touch of love. The story, three years and a half in the making, is now complete (and under revision). ____________________ Magnificent cover by @Tweeter109 Awesome headers by @FayLane

●A cursed infant ◆ A wolf pack ◆ An ancient prophecy ◆ An unforgettable adventure● Ferhia knew nothing about her past, nor did she know about her parentage. For nearly fourteen years she lived with the Pack, but she knew the wolves were keeping something away from them. ●●● Kilfer feared for his sister. In fact, the entire pack feared his sister. As the days draw near, their worries turn into anger. But he knew that he was not prepared for what would come... ○●○ Sneak peek... Along the gushing river and under the silver glare of the faint moonlight, the infant woke, her deep blue eyes staring up at the sky, white and misty. Not far away from her, a pack of wolves stared at the newborn infant, and on top of the Alpha of the Pack, a boy not older than five sat. His eyes still fixated on her, he whispered something inaudible to the other wolves into its ears, and it nodded, shifting its rather massive head up and down slowly. Padding nimbly to where the awakened newborn was, it grabbed the tunic gently with its teeth and turned back to the pack, leaving the riverbank... ______________ Milestones😊 Hit 1k reads on 13th January 2019 Hit 250 votes on 17 June 2019 Hit 1.5k reads on 1st July 2019 Hit 300 votes on 30 November 2019 Hit 2k reads on 23 Dec 2019 Hit 2.5k reads on 9 March 2020 Hit 3.5k reads on 4 April 2020 Hit 4k reads and 350 votes on 9 April 2020 Hit 5k reads and 400 votes on 1 May 2020 Hit 6k reads on 16 May 2020 Hit 15k reads and 800 votes on 10 Nov 2020 Hit 17k reads and 1k votes on 12 Feb 2021!

"What was it like to witness the creation of the universe?" "Terrifying." When Atara, Merc, Cal and Lilith wake to darkness, they're each more than a little afraid. With no memory of who they were before, and with the universe bursting violently to life around them, they must work together to survive and to get home - wherever that may be. Because the longer they stay in this dark new world, the harder it is to do so. © 2015 by shayebay This novel is entirely a work of fiction.

Feared by his enemies and tolerated by his allies, Sedgewick Alverdyne, the cynical Minister of Magic, was content with living an attachment-free life whilst striking fear into the hearts of witches, sorceresses, and wizards everywhere. And after several hundred years of faithfully serving the royal family, he's become very comfortable in his position-including his indispensability. But when a mysterious curse starts wreaking havoc on his powers, his stable existence is pulled out from under him. Facing old and new enemies on one side and his own department on the other, Sedgewick finds himself stranded with little magic and less help. With time of the essence, his reputation on the line, and no one willing to help but Feyla, his meddling-yet surprisingly devoted-assistant, he's forced to confront one of the few challenges he hasn't prepared for. Because a mage without magic isn't a mage at all... A Wattpad Featured Story Published August 12th, 2016. Completed August 20th, 2017.

Amidst their circumstances, a darker force threatens to tear apart the world of Terra. Fate searches for tools in the princes' possession; tools that can either save or destroy everything the brothers hold dear.

"Great power comes with great..." I raised my eyebrows at Guardian, looking his skin-tight suit up and down. "Urges to wear spandex, apparently." "Are you using altered famous superhero comic book references to insult me?" he asked incredulously. I snorted. "You bet your fucking ass, I am." *** Crown City has all the typical big-city flare. There's a McDonald's on every corner, enough carbon emissions to end life as we know it, and a new supervillain trying to take over right before finals week. For Tessa Kingston, Supers are nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, Tessa likes to pretend that Supers don't even exist at all. Though Tessa isn't exactly shy with her not-so-popular thoughts on Crown City's resident vigilante, Guardian, he seems to have taken a liking to the annoyed teenager. Well, he and his buddies have, that is - buddies meaning two supervillains dressed in Walmart Star Wars masks. Crown City has always been a center for mayhem and superpowers, but when strange things start happening too often to be coincidences, Tessa finds herself in the middle of a fight she didn't start but she sure as hell was going to end. Villains torment her. Heroes try to save her. Tessa just wants to pass Supers 101. In a world full of Supers, it's up to normal-teenager Tessa Kingston to save her city. A typical tagline she's well-aware of, of course. As Tessa prepares to show these Super-fools they messed with the wrong girl, she just has one condition: There's no way she's wearing spandex. *** BOOK #1 OF THE "SUPERHEROES SUCK" DUOLOGY Featured on the Wattpad Adventure, Action, Superhero, and Humour profiles! WARNING: Contains mild swearing, cliffhangers, plot twists, and enough sarcasm to last a lifetime.
