Josephine Raphelia is a Siren who has been running from the King of Valencia her whole life, and when the day finally comes that she is taken captive by who she believes to be one of the king's guards, she soon begins to realize that nothing is as it seems in her world. 

The people she once thought she could trust are filled with secrets and betrayals and as she meets new allies along the route to her freedom, she unravels the plots in her life while also trying to cling to a family she never knew but will fight with her last breath to protect. 

It is only when a god of old enters the fight and challenges her feelings for her captor that Josephine realizes this is much bigger than she ever could have realized, and soon finds that she might be the key to unlocking the answers of her freedom, and the freedom of her people, once and for all.

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.

Dive into the a tale of self-discovery, magic and the unlickiest of loves. ___________________ As I stood beside Rigel in the moonlit garden, I felt the air thicken with tension. His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.

As the years passed, Josephine was crafted into a vicious murderer, the only way for her to survive. Adam, Josephine and Nina had no money and were starving. In an attempt to get some money, she accepts the offer Alias Trec gave her: assassinate the Crowned Prince for a hundred million drems. But even as Josephine defied all forces of nature, she couldn't defy her own heart. As loyalties switch and the truth unravels, Josephine finds herself swept in a realm of deception and spite, a place she'd never dreamt of attending. --------------------------------------------------- -The Queen let out a short laugh, and Josephine smiled. "Drink, my dear King, drink to forget me." She glared at every single face in the room. "Drink for that I will be gone and you will grieve. Just as I."
