Masters of the Sky
Celia de Visher worked her whole life for her high position in the biggest criminal cartel in the Raised Cities Confederation.

The Pirate Hunter's Game (Finished)
Note: This story is finished and is terrible. The Pirate Hunter's Game Captain Jessip Sharp is a disgruntled merchant who has lost fortunes to air pirates countless times. The Governments of the floating cities scattered across the thirteen skies do nothing but make it hard for an honest man to make an honest living. The Good Captain takes to the skies once more. This time he is taking matters into his own hands. To hunt down and destroy the pirates that have for so long caused him grief. Even if, by the Government's definition, that makes him a pirate as well. Will Captain Jessip Sharp rid the skies of pirates, or will he soon discover that maybe the pirates aren't so different from himself. My name is Demon. And I hope you enjoy my steam powered, post apocalyptic story of airships, flying cites, and crazy redhead pirates.Complete
Thieves of the crown
The kingdom of Orovia bleeds. Every harvest season, the Frost royals send their imperials to strip villages bare. Gold. Crops. Heirlooms. Even lives. Everything claimed in the name of the crown. Alexandra Beaumont has lost enough. When the king opens the army to new recruits, she seizes her chance. Not to serve, but to steal. Beneath the armor of a royal soldier, she hides a secret mission: infiltrate the castle, reclaim what was stolen, and return it to the people who were robbed of everything. But she is not alone. A band of outcasts forms at her side, bound by vengeance and hope. By day, they wear the king's colors. By night, they become shadows on the sea. Pirates who raid treasuries, kingdoms, and crowns themselves. Rebels carving justice out of theft. Yet betrayal stalks the rebellion as closely as the royals do. And when Alexandra's heart tangles with Asher Knight-the general's son, her greatest threat, and her greatest ally-loyalties blur, danger sharpens, and every stolen heartbeat could be her last. In a world where rebellion is treason and love is forbidden, Alexandra must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to take back a kingdom drowning in frost.
