Hello. I am a new author. For now I will go by Veiled Sky.
I know that my story doesn't have art yet, but I will pay for that if people end up liking it. Feedback is not only appreciated, but the entire reason I am sharing this passion project with everyone. Give me all the criticism, mean and nice.
First chapter is quite long. It is to be thought of as a pilot. It has its own self contained plot, but is related to and will lead into the rest of the tale. Please have fun with this. You do not have to read it in one sitting. If you do, great. But take it as you will.
For a small synopsis of the first chapter, it follows the main character, Dust, and his fate encounter with Rosè. Rosè is a girl of high standards, and despite Dust's attitude and gloomy looks, she sees something in him, and wont let him get away. She leads him through the lavish streets of Durham, slowly peeling back the veil over the town, and revealing its underside.
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
*****
After years of watching pirates fighting with the king's navy off the coast of Harvest Island, Jessica Red saves the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, and the two become fast friends. Little does she know, Ruben Kirk is only the first of three rookie pirates she'll meet during a whirlwind of sea-faring adventures - but when Jessica learns the corrupt King Mordred has plans to destroy her island home, can she convince them to help her save it?
