The story contained within these pages is not about me.
You all know of whom I write. If not by word of mouth or by the speculation of the Chileez Times, then by the nation-wide declaration of his accomplishments and accolades. Even though there has never been a true recounting of his adventures, there has been proof: the fur of Beurn, three feathers from a Phoenix, a dragon-forged blade, a map of uncharted seas, and the Lost Pearl of Awl.
Adventurer. Map-maker. Sailor.
Myth. Legend. Hero.
His name is Lennon T. James... and he finally has someone to see if he truly is as legendary as his souvenirs indicate.

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.

As it turns out, though someone unchosen may be exactly what the world needs to save it. **Thank you pennywithaney for the cover!**Complete
The SunDowners In | The Dagger and the Rose
Action Adventure Series • Book 4 Every relic is a doorway. Every shadow hides a name. And every Sunbound heart must learn the price of carrying legends too long. From the desert's whispers to the catacombs' bells, the story does not end, it deepens. The Tiger led them to the Dagger, and the Rose waits with thorns still wet with blood." 🌹 When something evil and ancient plunders the tomb of Sainte-Rosamonde, a convent where shadows once moved like assassins, the Sunbound are pulled into a legend older than they can fathom. The artifact is no mere treasure- it is the key to binding or unleashing a power buried in blood and silence. For Callahan, it is more than a mission. It is a vow. Once, in a hidden cloister of France, a woman named Rosamonde Ducos; nun, resistance fighter, assassin, saint, called him The Dagger. He called her The Rose. Before her death, she bound him to a promise: to guard the relic with his life. Now her ghost cries out to him, and he knows what it means-her trust has been betrayed, and her sorrow is not at rest. 🌹 But as the Sunbound race time itself across catacombs and castles, they discover something more chilling: The relic is not just tied to Rosamonde. It is knotted into the very curse that took Tatyana, the woman Callahan lost to his own stubborn silence. And if they cannot recover it, both women's ghosts- and Callahan himself- may be consumed. Together, Kaida, Noey, Atlas, and Valli must face the labyrinth of Callahan's past, where assassins wore habits, where lovers became legends, and where shadows still hunger for flesh. Because the relic is not only a prize. It is a mirror. And when the Sunbound look into it, they will see the truth: This time, the fight is not to save a relic. It is to save him. It was beautiful. It was damning. It was his. 🌹 The Dagger and the Rose.Complete
