The Nine Oceans
Welcome to the known world of The Nine Oceans! Watch out for pirates, prophecies, bandits and politics. Please, don't concern yourself with what lives under the D'Vialle manor. And always, always remember to keep your actions out of the workings or you'll find yourself on the wrong side of The Ladies. Better to keep safe and above the wet instead of swimming seven draughts down, don't you think? This massive story is told from multiple viewpoints and is one part swashbuckling, one part steampunk, and one part all smashed together of romance, adventure, sci-fi / fantasy, and revenge. Updates will be inconsistent because I'm still writing the final half (possibly the final two thirds) as well as polishing and settling finished chapters into the right places in the timeline. Content warning: I'll put CW's at the start of each chapter, as needed, and in general you can expect foul language, violence, sex, trauma and fear.

A Larvikite for a Soul
"Hey! Can't you stop for like five minutes? I have so many questions and you keep going on and on." I yelled at him. He turned around and proceeded to come toward me, fuming in anger. I instinctively started taking steps backwards until my back touched the wall. He came towards me and caged me, whispering in anger "Really? And why, pray tell me, should I answer them." ***** Hi! I am Anana and my life story is the most predictable - quite literally. For I am a wight - a soul who lingers at the back of people's minds and watches their 'already known to me life story' unfold. However, things get interesting when something unpredictable happens in 'my' life, when I have to take my own step and even watch it for it can make the difference between 'my' life and death!Complete

Venture to Uncertainty (#1)
It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.
