Wattys shortlist 2021 "I'm already loving this story" - _singforjoy_ "You are going to get me what I want," Isla said, calmly. "Or I will kill you." The words hung in the air between them. 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.

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.

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.
