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

"Not every heir wants the throne." PART I | She buried her name, her crown, and her past-but some things don't stay dead. Her kingdom is gone-burned to ash, buried in betrayal. She escaped with nothing but a haunted heart, a fractured name, and a secret sharp enough to split her soul. Earth was never meant to be a refuge. But in its quiet chaos, she tried to become someone else- smaller, safer... invisible. Then she met Matthew. Arrogant. Magnetic. The kind of man you clash with first- before you realise you'd fight for him just as hard. Because in a world like this, love doesn't come easy- and loyalty costs more than most people are willing to give. Sera has lived between two lives, two names, two truths. But the past doesn't stay buried. When it finds her- it comes with teeth. Because secrets rot. Kingdoms fall. But the people you choose to stand beside? They're the only thing that makes the fall worth surviving. Now everything she ran from is closing in. Not to crown her- but to break her. Fate doesn't ask permission. Destiny doesn't wait for peace. And not every heir wants the throne... ...but some are born to burn-and some will burn the world to protect the people they love.
