Brilliance and power are two sides of the same coin. 

Nova's life plays out exactly how she orders it to-- but she's starting to feel like she's giving the wrong demands. Ambition lives deep inside every bone of her talented body, and there's very little that deters her. As she crafts her legacy, she'll keep to her rules, and uncertainty will stay far away from her. 

The King of the Sea has never doubted himself for a moment. And yet, when his precious ship is attacked in the dead of night by Sirens, Vallin finds himself struggling to maintain his confidence. The only way out of the cell he sits in is to win a mind game against someone drastically smarter than him. 

They'd both die for adventure. But who's willing to live for it?

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.

Rapture by athenamaddox

When Finn wakes up on a pirate ship with no memory, the last thing he expects is to get involved with the dangerous and alluring Captain North. ***** Stuck on a notorious pirate ship with no memories and an injured foot, Finn is as sure of his future as he is his past. Fate has set him in the path of the lawless Imo Gen crew. Finn can't remember how he got there or why, but what he does know is that Captain North saved his life, and he might just be the most handsome man he's ever met. Things get even more dangerous when he discovers that he has a very expensive bounty placed for his capture-and he's not the only one who knows about it. Captain North's brother is looking for Finn with orders from the nobility, but as far as Captain North is concerned, Finn is his, and no one, not even his brother, can take that from him.

Pirate's Life For Me.... by jplupine

[18+; Use an age indicator in YOUR BIO to confirm you're 18+ if you want to follow/comment or you'll be blocked for safety purposes] Deana Blake, a child raised without the affections of her father and the knowledge that her mother ran away with a pirate only to be hung like one soon after. Fighting to stay alive as her father sailed on a merchant ship, Deana learned many skills to get food or money even if it was pick-pocketing. She kept an old rum bottle to store what she could save and vowed to become the best sailor in the ocean to prove to her father and everyone else that her gender wasn't what was holding her back. Deana Blake, a woman serving as a cook aboard the ship Petrel, is not really getting anywhere closer to her dreams of being a well-known captain. Her skills in the kitchen are extraordinary, but her skills with a knife were just as known to anyone who dared enter her galley. She bribed her way onto the boat while manipulating the Captain to keep her aboard. Deana wouldn't do anything she didn't have to, and she wanted to earn the right to be a captain rather than take it, so that was how she spent years cooking for an ever-changing crew on the Petrel until the ship was attacked and sent to her watery grave. Deana Blake, a woman to be feared. Date Published: Nov 28, 2017 ✨~Ranks~✨ #1 BlackSails- 11/20/2021 #1 CharlesVane- 8/5/2023 #1 Piracy- 3/4/2024 #12 CanonxOC- 11/22/2021 #148 Pirates- 11/20/2021

As A Stranger Or A Friend? by thesmolwriter45

Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be... So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown. Waters disturbed, the two upend one another's lives with misunderstanding hands and misguided compassion. The balances of fate tip dangerously and they quickly find themselves pitted against the same foe: time. The world's watchful eyes fall upon them as night coats the skies and something unexpectedly new begins to emerge. Hope. Little do they know just how dangerous something like that can be. *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, suggestive scenes, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*

The Huntress ✓ by witchoria

(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 @Azanthiel

Lions of the Sea by MonicaPrelooker

1670, Caribbean Sea. She's the daughter of a legendary pirate. He's a Spanish captain. Their countries are at war. Their fathers killed each other. And they were destined to follow on their steps. But sometimes destiny isn't written in stone: it's written in the deep blue of the sea. A story full of adventures at sea, set in the thick of the war between Spain and the pirates for control over the New World. And a different look at the challenge of being a woman in a world ruled by men with an iron fist. At age fifteen, all Marina dreams of is sailing, but women are banned from the ships berthing in Tortuga. And when she finally makes it, her ship is attacked by the champion of the Spanish Armada, a young captain fighting pirates to avenge his father. That battle pushes Marina back to the sea, yearning to take it back on the young captain, who turns out to be no other than the son of her father's sworn enemy. All they want is to kill each other, and they'll sail the Caribbean Sea tirelessly until they come across each other. An encounter they were destined to since they were born, and that will change their lives forever.

The Lore's Illusion by yendys7anna

They say it's impossible for a virgin to be with child. It's impossible for a boy to survive the ruthlessness of the homeless life. It's impossible for pirates to still rule the seas. . . . A shadow of death now covers Baloxalon since the death of the infant prince...after the promise of eternal damnation at the hands of a vengeful witch. No one can stop her, no one stands a chance. Kestrel Alistair was born with a medallion that saves her life after a mutiny and lands her into the hands of a handsome stranger who, despite his cold and troublesome appearance, may be her only chance at freedom from the curse with which she was born. But he has a past; a past that has been hunting him for ten long years... . . . It's a battle for power, vengeance, and love. It's a battle between a worthless thief and a wealthy prince. A battle between what a girl knows, and what she feels. It's a war fueled by a broken promise made 20 years ago; a war that can only be ended with bloodshed. . . ***AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK AND HARDCOVER AT LULU.COM***
