Ancient African Emperor Moutassim I goes on a voyage and must survive monsters, cannibal tribes and his own murderous crew, while his wife Kelita, acting as Empress regent, gets a cruel baptism in the dangers of court politics, misogyny, magic and war. Will Moutassim return home to his wife in one piece? Will his Empress survive ruling an empire as brutal as Mesigan?

Blurb

Moutassim rocked back on his heels, his mind searching for a response but coming up blank. Women, other than his wife, giving him the cold shoulder was a unique experience. Chewing the inside of his lip, Moutassim looked up for inspiration. 

It was then that he noticed the fog slowly surrounding his ship, it's smoky tendrils wrapping around the cog's single sail and blotting out the starry sky. He looked around, but all he was greeted with was more fog, the shadowy outline of his nearby ships growing fainter and fainter until they disappeared entirely.

Where the hell did this fog come from, Moutassim thought in annoyance. Had he been so engrossed in watching Tigrita sleep that he hadn't noticed it creeping in? 

Moutassim looked around for his navigator, Soth. And that was when he heard a scream pierce the thick fog.

Venture to Uncertainty (#1) by tarishannon18
44 parts Complete
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.

Searching her head, she tried to remember where she may have met this man before. As she stared at him, a sense of familiarity began to settle. Those eyes... she'd seen them before. Where has she seen them? One by one, the images came. The pictures from a time she had forgotten. She had helped someone with eyes just like this. Still in his embrace, a daunting realisation began to set in. She'd met this man before. Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess.

Bound by duty, they navigate the treacherous path of their arranged marriage, while their hearts yearn for something more. Together, they must unravel the dark secrets that haunt their kingdoms and find a way to bring peace and justice to their people. "You may kiss the bride," proclaimed the officiant. Nia froze, panicked. She had never been kissed before! Sensing her unease, King Kiyoshi gently tilted her chin upward. His eyes were cold and yet she found herself trusting him despite her misgivings. His lips brushed against hers, soft and tentative at first, then with growing confidence. His kiss was not demanding or forceful, but rather a tender exploration of her mouth. It sent a shiver through her body, making her heart race and her cheeks flush with heat. As they turned to face their kingdoms, cheers erupted, both within the hall and from the masses gathered outside. Though nervous for what was to come, Nia could not help but feel a sense of elation. She was the Queen of Ivamis, and her husband was the most powerful king in the land. The weight of their responsibilities was not lost on her, but she also knew that they would face these challenges together...hopefully.
