When Anastasia Star's father flees their estate in Clearwater Cove, leaving their family destroyed and broken, to hunt down a treasure chest filled with mythical gold, she takes after him, furious and burning for revenge.
Sneaking aboard a pirate ship disguised as a boy is relatively easy, but keeping her identity hidden from the cunning eyes of the Captain, Erik Carter, is harder than it seems.
Together they strike a deal: He will help her find her father if him and his crew get the mythical gold all to themselves.
So begins the adventure of a lifetime. From betraying friends, to avoiding hooded pirates, to battling sirens, to braving the fierce waves of the sea, follow Scarlet and Erik as they fight for their lives aboard The Devil's Heart.
However, all quests start with a curse. A curse that will inevitably end with pirates and loved ones being dragged down to the darkest depths of the ocean.
[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.
