A Game Of Changing Tides by hanneoats

[Watty's 2018 shortlist] Adelyn's quick hands and knack for thievery had a bad habit of putting her in dangerous situations, but forcing her into the path of Nikolai Kors was the worst of them all. A pirate captain with years of death and destruction under his belt, Nikolai has spent ages searching for the one thing that could make every loss, gamble and lie worth it, and Adelyn is the one person who knows where it is. But when fate strikes, it's revealed that Adelyn is more than just a common thief that stole a watch: she's the second piece to the puzzle Nik has been desperate to solve. Together, Nikolai and Adelyn must venture the seven seas and battle monsters of every kind. Should they succeed, Adelyn would have enough money to buy herself out of the life of thievery she's been living for years, but Nikolai hasn't been entirely honest with her... because there's a whole lot more than just riches at the end of this game.

Raif looked unconcerned. "Is that so?" he said. Born to the captain of a pirate ship, Isla has spent her whole life at sea. Raised among sailors, her father has trained her to fight, command a crew, and, most importantly, the secrets of the ocean currents. When her father is killed in a storm, she is forced to step into his role as captain. Not only does she have to provide for the men on her ship, but she also inherits her father's outstanding debt to Lord Sutherland: the task of stealing the rare Serpent's Eye emerald. After months of failure to locate the emerald, Isla is forced to take extreme measures: she kidnaps Duke Raif Sayers, who knows of the emerald's location. But Raif proves to be more strong willed and stubborn than Isla expected. Matters become even more complicated when Raif's father offers a large reward for his son's rescue and suddenly every cutthroat is looking for Raif and the pirate who kidnapped him. As Isla and her crew are pushed to their limits and race against their deadline, Isla has to face that the one decision she thought would save her crew could be the very thing that destroys them.

Lost Destinies by wxnderland_addict

𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐀, where everything is happily ever after... until it isn't. Most people either loathe the idea of or don't believe in the legend of the Writer, a mysterious being in a faraway tower who writes the life story of every person who has ever lived with an enchanted pen. When an alliance of rogue mages decides to rise up against their destinies and take back power from the lazy, complacent royals ruling over the land, they don't realize what they've bargained for. An ancient curse is awakened by the death of Queen Snow White, and the gang of thieves robbing the Snow palace on the day she is killed become entangled in her destiny, changing theirs forever. Ramona Swan and her crew, fairytale misfits barely scraping by in an old van and stealing to live, find themselves swept up into a life they never asked for ⸻ discovering the Writer is real and that he needs them to save the world. They chase through dangerous forests, battle monsters, and brave raging seas in a race against time to stop the newly emerged Alliance of Darkness from shattering the most famous fairy tales of all time, tearing down everything Fairytaletopia stands for in the process. The Alliance is brimming with wavering loyalties and sides bound to split, but their goal is set, and they'll do everything in their power to achieve it. Little do they know the royals won't go down without a fight. The thieves never asked to be caught up in all of this, but no one ever can truly predict what fate has in store. They're fighting for something they've never believed in before and questioning everything they've ever known. Along the way they'll learn what family truly is... and forge their own destinies, together. ✹ GLORIOUS AWARDS 2023 WINNER: Action/Adventure, 1st Place. ✹ THE BOOK AWARDS 2023 WINNER: Action/Adventure, 3rd Place. ✹ Cover by @EdenHart87. © Ginger Beckett 2022-24

Venture to Uncertainty (#1) by tarishannon18

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.
