Bloody Love
Bloody Love" follows the legend of Captain Mazu, a fearsome pirate and living legend known as the "Mother of the Seas." At 53, with a face scarred by a kraken and a reputation built on merciless raids, Mazu's reign is one of absolute power and cold discipline. Her ship, the Fire Dream, is a harbinger of doom, its black sails a symbol of her unyielding might. However, Mazu's world is shattered by a cryptic message in a bottle: "She lives." The two words force her to confront a past she thought was long buried. They refer to the Leviathan, an infamous warship that vanished a decade ago in a legendary storm, and its tyrannical captain-Mazu's former rival and mentor. The message isn't a threat; it's a challenge, leading her to the treacherous Drowned Isles. There, Mazu uncovers the truth: the Leviathan wasn't lost to a storm, but was sunk by her nemesis, a cunning and ruthless rival named Kael, who is very much alive and waiting for her. The story evolves beyond a simple pirate tale of vengeance. Mazu's journey becomes a test of her spirit and her leadership. As she grapples with the ghosts of her past, she must navigate not only the literal storms of the sea but also the emotional tempests that haunt her crew. She faces a vengeful spectral ship, a rival once a friend, and a city dying from a curse born of regret. In a world where the sea itself is a character-a harsh mistress and a source of profound power-Mazu learns that her greatest strength isn't her cutlass or her cunning, but her connection to the ocean and the loyalty of a crew that now sees her not just as a captain, but as an oracle and a protector.Complete

A dark foe. A forbidden love. A deadly, high-seas quest. Mercenary sailor Jack's past comes back to haunt him when his crew receives a commission during the height of hurricane season. Charged with returning the all-too-familiar Prince Valory to the capital by way of the isles, Jack and schooner Windjammer battle storms and sea-monsters alike in Oceana's treacherous waters. Jack's new patron, however, is no ordinary nobleman. A hardened soldier and powerful commander, Valory boards Windjammer to scour the isles for signs of the mysterious new threat at Oceana's borders: an evil that burns innocents alive and smashes ships to pieces. Yet Jack isn't without secrets of his own -- secrets that unravel under the growing intensity of a forbidden attraction to his patron. Forced to reclaim his lost title, Jack comes face-to-face with the past he thought he'd outrun. As Windjammer races to defend Oceana from invasion, he and Valory must work together to untangle the threads of the dark alliance threatening their home, crew, and kingdom -- or risk losing everything in the process.

Bound By His Shadow ( The Vincolo Series - Season 1)
I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him? Oh, they don't walk in the light. Nobody says their names out loud, their DEEDS aren't recorded, but you'll see their HANDIWORK everywhere if you know where to look. It all started that one night. At the time, it seemed like nothing, just another evening. Little did I know, that was the night everything would change. The first time I stumbled into his DOMAIN was purely by accident, I had no clue what I was walking into. But the second time? That was different. I went there on purpose, driven by a job. Nothing personal, just BUSSINESS, or so I thought. Something I could easily leave behind when it was all done. Oh, how naive I was! His world isn't one you can just wander in and out of without a scratch. It's a place built on unspoken agreements, lies that dig deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. Every moment spent there pulls me further into his gravity. I thought I could maintain my distance, but somehow, I found myself getting closer to him,much closer than I ever planned or wanted. Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything. That I was PLAYING the game. But no, not once was I ever the PLAYER. Just a PAWN in this bloody game of BLOOD & THRONE !! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING :- THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.
