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.

"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.

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.

Leave your real life behind and dive into a whole new world with two moons, pirates, sirens, ogres, and many more distractions;) Aura, daughter of one of the most influential pirates in all of Trodeaion, and sadly seasick is raised by a family friend for the first nineteen years of her life. Despite missing her father as his visits become rarer and rarer the more she starts to look like her mom, she loves her life. That is, until one random morning, a group of pirates invades the tavern she works at and takes her hostage on their ship. The infuriating captain insists he's an honourable man, yet he's made a deal with her father's rival to deliver her to him. She has three months on his ship to find a way to escape certain death. Can she do it? (Excuse this horrible blurb, I hate writing them and I want to get back to working on the book itself so it's the best I can do for now. It's unlikely that many people will see this right now anyway, so it doesn't matter) TW: Many serious themes in this one! SA, vi0lence, mention of vomit, mention of dr0wning, mention of dism4mberment, mature themes etc.
