"I want you to be careful."

The Huntress ✓
(EDITORS PICK) In the bloody, ruthless, and decidedly uncouth world of 17th century pirates, can a woman deceive even those closest to her and survive? Bronte is forced to make some tough decisions about her life and livelihood at far too tender an age in a time and place when options for women are few. Port Royal, Jamaica, in the 17th century is only a good place to be if you're a pirate. And so, a pirate she is. A pirate's life is precarious enough without the added burden of hiding one's sex. But, if she is to survive, hide it she must. Lucien's father wishes him to take over the family merchant business but Lucien feels God has a different path; he longs to use his medical knowledge to help the less fortunate in the Caribbean. Just as he is about to embark on his God-given task, a certain pirate spoils his plans. Is he wrong about the path God has for him? Lucien is forced to work for his father and delay his plans until he can hunt down the pirate who thwarted him. He is sure he's a match for anything the pirates dish out but soon realizes he's gotten more than he bargained for and it just may cost him his life... ⭐️ Featured in Editors Pick 9/2020 Cover by @AzanthielComplete

The Legend of the Uncharted Island
Balin Van Buuren, a once-renowned swashbuckling novelist fallen on hard times, attempts to reclaim his former fame by writing a book based on a mysterious journal acquired in a London tavern. Though the novel proves a commercial failure, its publication triggers an unforeseen chain reaction: it draws the attention of the Spanish Empire, the wrath of the Holy Office, and the ambitions of pirates, viceroys, and elves alike-all convinced that the journal contains more than mere fiction. Set against the backdrop of early eighteenth-century New Spain and the Caribbean, this is a tale of adventure without heroes-only characters driven by desperation, ambition, or the need to survive, locked in a deadly race for a treasure believed to be legendary... and dangerously real. The fusion of colonial history and dark fantasy shapes a novel for readers drawn to intrigue, complex worlds, and stories where every secret comes at a cost.

His Lost Boys serve as his troops and have been his only company for the last millennium. Until his shadow brought a girl to Neverland, by the name of Wendy Darling. But she's not the one this story's about. Why? It's simple. Because she's dead. She broke Peter's heart, so he killed her. Only he and the Lost Boys know what happened the night Wendy disappeared, and Peter means to take the secret to his grave, assuming he ever dies, of course. If the Lost Boys know what's good for them, they will too. None of the other creatures on the island have any idea of what became of the one girl who had ever set foot on Neverland. However, what at first seems to be a siren with a know-it-all attitude threatens to change all that. She knows exactly why Peter's heart is shattered. But what she wants to do with that information is, for the very first time, is absolutely unclear to Peter. That doesn't sit well with the Ruler of Neverland. And whatever doesn't sit well with Peter, he either figures it out or kills it. The problem is, he can't seem to manage to do the first option, and for some reason, can't bring himself to do the second. --- Dea: Goddess [Latin]Complete
