Life for Lys has never been the same since her mother left. She storms through life, her only companion a boy named Revel, whom captivates her in way she's never been before. Desperate for a way out her fathers backwater gas station, she steals her wealth and pays the price. 

Revel has never had a normal life. As an undercover noble, he knows one thing with his whole heart; Lys was a song made for him. When her father finally gives her unbeatable task, Revel knows Lys can't do it alone and is willing to expend anything to help her.

Ilea has spent much of her immortal life sailing the seas as a formidable pirate and has never been happier. But when a stranger has her questioning everything she's ever known, she embarks on an adventure different from anything she's ever known. 

Davon has always been hated by his step-father for being a bastard-born. He's trapped with no way out. So when he's offered the chance to escape, he jumps at it, only to realize it might be more than he bargained for.

Echoes of the deep... by AvaTheBestWriter
38 parts Ongoing
In a world where the seas are ruled by pirates and haunted by sirens, James Potter and Remus Lupin embark on a perilous quest for treasure, only to fall victim to the enchanting songs of the Black brothers, Regulus and Sirius, who drag them beneath the waves. But fate has other plans. As two rival pirate crews-Lily Evans' fearless band of women and Barty Crouch Jr.'s ruthless crew-clash over the search for the sirens, deeper alliances and unexpected loves begin to form. Barty, obsessed beyond reason, falls for the captivating siren Evan Rosier, while his twin sister Pandora finds herself drawn to Lily. Meanwhile, Regulus and James, despite their differences, forge an unbreakable bond, just as Sirius and Remus do. As tensions rise and their journey leads them to the Black family's dark secrets, Orion Black unleashes an army of sirens and sea creatures to destroy them all. In the final battle, blood is spilled, hearts are shattered, and Evan loses his life-sending Barty spiraling into madness. Keeping his promise to Evan, he does the impossible: he burns the ocean itself. With the war over, the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. James remains devoted to Regulus, despite his siren nature. Sirius and Remus refuse to be parted. Pandora and Lily embrace their love, while Alex gives up his mermaid existence for Mary, leaving piracy behind to build a new life. But Barty is lost to his grief, consumed by vengeance and destruction. His rampage leaves him imprisoned, broken by the weight of his own actions. The sea may have burned, but love endured-even in the darkest depths.

"No one is coming to save you. There will be no escape, there will only be you and me, here, for however long it takes for you to answer every one of my questions. If you are waiting for your King to come and save you, you are sadly mistaken, he cannot reach you here." That statement might have defeated any other prisoner, but she knew better. She had known and accepted that she would find her death here. She laughed as loudly as she could, making a show of it, "rescue me? Please don't tell me you think I'm a damsel in distress." His smile met her laugh, meeting her challenge with his own. "Distress? No. But we have just gotten started." ---- Adriell did not come here for a prince, she came for his throne. Born of the sea, bound by vengeance. Adriell, heir of the merpeople, and warrior, is captured by the humans from the land up above and transformed into the very creature she despises. Captured and transformed, she is a mermaid adrift, a warrior without her sea. Her prison becomes her battleground when she vows to assassinate the Sultan, the man who stole her life. To slaughter the sultan the way he slaughters her people. In the heart of the enemy's court, she discovers Allaric, the Sultan's son, a man haunted by his own secrets and a man who yearns for his father's downfall. Forced into a dangerous alliance, they navigate a world of shadows and lies, where enemies become allies, and hatred simmers into a forbidden desire. In this dark fantasy retelling, alliances are forged in blood, and the price of freedom is paid in secrets and sacrifice. A dark, enemies-to-lovers fantasy where the sea meets the sword. Trigger warnings inside.
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.
