During this time of peace, war is brewing in the hearths and souls of people tired of living inside foreign borders. However, war is a costly bussiness in which the victor is not the one with the higher numbers or better strategies, but the one who is willing to pay to the last coin at the bottom of the sack in order to ensure their soldiers have the sharpest swords and toughest armor, the swiftest arrows and stronger bows in order to ensure victory. This job of producing and selling the best equipment in the Free World falls to Armando and his crew.

Wicked Waters | Oceana Book I by CeeMTaylor

A dark foe. A forbidden love. A deadly, high-seas quest. Mercenary sailor Jack's past comes back to haunt him when his crew receives a commission during the height of hurricane season. Charged with returning the all-too-familiar Prince Valory to the capital by way of the isles, Jack and schooner Windjammer battle storms and sea-monsters alike in Oceana's treacherous waters. Jack's new patron, however, is no ordinary nobleman. A hardened soldier and powerful commander, Valory boards Windjammer to scour the isles for signs of the mysterious new threat at Oceana's borders: an evil that burns innocents alive and smashes ships to pieces. Yet Jack isn't without secrets of his own -- secrets that unravel under the growing intensity of a forbidden attraction to his patron. Forced to reclaim his lost title, Jack comes face-to-face with the past he thought he'd outrun. As Windjammer races to defend Oceana from invasion, he and Valory must work together to untangle the threads of the dark alliance threatening their home, crew, and kingdom -- or risk losing everything in the process.

A Stand Worth Taking by Wysatine

"Hopkins, your courage and willingness to fight is admirable, but in the current moment, it borders on idiocy." "Captain Rhodes," Hopkins began. "I speak to you not with impertinence or lack of respect. No, I speak to you with a heart of passion, an undying love for my kingdom, a people for which I would give my life without a moment's hesitation." Hopkins turned to face his fellow soldiers. "If we surrender here, who's to say we won't be dooming ourselves further down the road of conflict? Who's to say that this isn't the battle that could turn the tide of war?" ---------------------------- Captain Rhodes and his passionate, but also inexperienced, band of men have been stationed at a vital fort posted at the Southern border, safe from the conflict that rages up North. Or so they thought. When a scout returns from his rounds bearing grave news, the defense of the fort is left to Rhodes and his men. Loyalties are questioned, supplies run low, and reinforcements are still days away, that is, if reinforcements are even coming.

The Heritage by lyttlejoe

I'm in the belly of the beast (again) by TheQuill2021

There is a tale of a mysterious island hidden beneath the moonlight. An island only meant to be sought when the time is right. An island where the greatest treasures can be found, for any deemed worthy. But the island's curse isn't to be taken lightly, nor can the island's judgement be avoided. Every sailor roaming these seas will hear its call. Every sailor will follow its pull and submit themselves to its trial. And every sailor will be dealt their rightful dues. OR Becoming a pirate had never been a part of Felix's plans for the future, but he'd do anything if it meant being able to stick with his family. But what happens when someone makes him realize that blood isn't thicker than water? (story title from "Blow" by Jackson Wang)

Great Spirits by -S-N-O-

Wren, a sharp-tongued and self-serving pirate, has always sought treasure above all else. But when he encounters an ostracized, amnesiac god with a mysterious past, his quest for wealth takes an unexpected turn. Initially, Wren sees the god as nothing more than an unwelcome travel partner, but the divine being's help becomes essential in his pursuit of a legendary treasure that has eluded even his father, a renown treasure hunter. As Wren and the god navigate the seas and land, they find themselves entangled in a fierce conflict between vindictive gods and monstrous beasts that threaten their realms. The stakes are high, and Wren quickly learns that the path to treasure is fraught with dangers beyond his wildest imaginings. Amidst the chaos, Wren discovers that the real threat may not be the gods or beasts, but the rising tensions between the islanders and mainlanders. As these human conflicts intensify, Wren must confront the uncomfortable truth that sometimes, humanity is its own greatest enemy. ___________________ @Aphrodite270 for the beautiful cover design!

Follow Guinevere, 400, and Rusty on their perilous adventures across the oceans. Battling beasts, foes, each other, and their pasts...

After the Tide by kullman

World ocean levels are rising, and from the depths terrible beasts emerge. Terrible beasts with unimaginable power. But that power can harnessed, by the few brave enough to form a life bond with the creatures. Among them a leader emerges, the enigmatic if ruthless General who unites the post apocalyptic world under his cruel domain. Decades before the General's rise to power, Dylan, a young sailor, joins the crew of a vessel hunting the sea serpents. In the far future, the General's son witnesses his terrible regime and seeks to end it. Paths interweave as the dark tale becomes all too clear. Trigger/Content Warning: some brief crude humor, sex/sexuality discussed, violence, bloody imagery, and some disturbing sequences. It should be obvious from the cover art, but if you have a fear of water this one probably isn't for you. This does have a surprise ending, and significant plot twist, so if those things bother you maybe skip it.

Adarna by Shadow_blade_9

Sailing the seas is a dangerous job. So dangerous that only the most skilled, or those blessed by the gods, ever return. Despite this, it is the most honoured profession in the kingdom. The sea beasts that roam the waters bleed gold, and their blood, when refined, can grant incredible powers. Robin is a man cursed by the gods. But he has a goal, and when a sailing ship pulls into his small sea town, he finally has a chance to go after it. However he may find that the choice he makes leads him down a path he never would have expected, with unexpected encounters, new friends, and difficult truths.
