Sonja Nehalenniasdóttir is finally free. After a daring escape from servitude and a sharp rise to first mate of the North Sea's most notorious pirate crew, she's survived punishing storms, several double crosses, and even diffused a mutiny against the cunning Captain Strijk, to whom is she is unwaveringly loyal and utterly indebted.

But when Jan van der Zee, her former master, begins hunting her, she's faced with a new challenge. A sea-spanning game is on, and freedom, revenge on Van der Zee, and a pardon for Captain Strijk are all at play.

Yet Sonja knows she is going to need more than her grit and the skill of her ship mates to survive Van der Zee a second time-it's just a matter of knowing what she can risk to cover the cost of her freedom.

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.

1670, Caribbean Sea. She's the daughter of a legendary pirate. He's a Spanish captain. Their countries are at war. Their fathers killed each other. And they were destined to follow on their steps. But sometimes destiny isn't written in stone: it's written in the deep blue of the sea. A story full of adventures at sea, set in the thick of the war between Spain and the pirates for control over the New World. And a different look at the challenge of being a woman in a world ruled by men with an iron fist. At age fifteen, all Marina dreams of is sailing, but women are banned from the ships berthing in Tortuga. And when she finally makes it, her ship is attacked by the champion of the Spanish Armada, a young captain fighting pirates to avenge his father. That battle pushes Marina back to the sea, yearning to take it back on the young captain, who turns out to be no other than the son of her father's sworn enemy. All they want is to kill each other, and they'll sail the Caribbean Sea tirelessly until they come across each other. An encounter they were destined to since they were born, and that will change their lives forever.

[18+; Use an age indicator in YOUR BIO to confirm you're 18+ if you want to follow/comment or you'll be blocked for safety purposes] Deana Blake, a child raised without the affections of her father and the knowledge that her mother ran away with a pirate only to be hung like one soon after. Fighting to stay alive as her father sailed on a merchant ship, Deana learned many skills to get food or money even if it was pick-pocketing. She kept an old rum bottle to store what she could save and vowed to become the best sailor in the ocean to prove to her father and everyone else that her gender wasn't what was holding her back. Deana Blake, a woman serving as a cook aboard the ship Petrel, is not really getting anywhere closer to her dreams of being a well-known captain. Her skills in the kitchen are extraordinary, but her skills with a knife were just as known to anyone who dared enter her galley. She bribed her way onto the boat while manipulating the Captain to keep her aboard. Deana wouldn't do anything she didn't have to, and she wanted to earn the right to be a captain rather than take it, so that was how she spent years cooking for an ever-changing crew on the Petrel until the ship was attacked and sent to her watery grave. Deana Blake, a woman to be feared. Date Published: Nov 28, 2017 ✨~Ranks~✨ #1 BlackSails- 11/20/2021 #1 CharlesVane- 8/5/2023 #1 Piracy- 3/4/2024 #12 CanonxOC- 11/22/2021 #148 Pirates- 11/20/2021
Pirate Chains ~ Strong tides by Syrvat

This story is being republished on wattpad! The whole series in already on Amazon and Smashwords! Enjoy :D A chain and a collar can imprison a nobleman, but what could entrap a devil? Only the innocence of a fallen angel. Once upon a time, there was a very respectful and principled young man, named Nyx. He was a nobleman in all meanings of the word. He struggled to keep his late father's fishing business alive and protect his dear mother and older sister. Between the fishermen's schemes and the selfishness of his stepfather, his task was not an easy burden to carry. One day, the fates threw him into a dangerous predicament, only to find himself being saved by the devil. Agenor (Ah-gueh-nor), Captain of the Martina pirate crew. He was strong and ruthless, which earned him a reputation across both shadowed waters and guarded islands as the 'Devil'. When the young nobleman fell into his hands, Agenor couldn't help but be enchanted by the innocent angel. He was inexplicably drawn to him. He didn't ponder much on his actions, as he was guided by a burning need to keep him for himself. It was within his rights to have the man for himself, to chain him and abuse him. He didn't listen to Nyx's pleas, or couldn't. He repeatedly denied him any chance of freedom. For deep within him, he knew. Nyx was his. This story depicts Nyx's adventure as he struggles to live among pirates, avoid their bullying and harassment, and witness his own feelings take unexpected turns towards his captor. I hope you enjoy the sexy pirates and the innocent lamb caught in between. Themes and warnings: This story is +18 Expect adult themes and graphic content.

The Reaper's Claim II Ateez Pirate AU by CarAtiny_21
27 parts Ongoing
Aurora was never meant to be part of their world. She was just a simple map collector, a tiny flower seller with bright green eyes and an innocence that didn't belong in the filth of the seas. She never questioned the treasures she gathered-never thought twice when she purchased an old, tattered map with strange markings, drawn to it only because of its beauty. She didn't know it was the map. The one everyone was willing to kill for. The one that led to Wonderland. When the infamous pirate crew led by Captain Hongjoong arrives on her island, disguised among the locals, she meets Park Seonghwa-the captain's right hand, a man spoken of in hushed whispers, known as the Reaper of the Seas. Cold, ruthless, and deadly, he was nothing like the sweet and charming man who later convinced her to sell the map. And she had no idea that both men were part of the same crew. But before she could process her mistake, before she could even grasp that she had been nothing more than a pawn in a game far beyond her understanding-she was hunted. Marked as the last known owner of the map, Aurora barely escapes an ambush by assassins, fleeing blindly into the night. Desperate, she hides aboard what she thinks is an abandoned ship. But when the ship sets sail, and she is dragged before a crew of cutthroat pirates- pirates who already know her name- Aurora realizes her mistake. She has just boarded the ship of the Pirate Kings themselves. And Seonghwa is looking at her like she is nothing more than an inconvenience- one that will be dealt with, one way or another. - A dark, immersive novel steeped in blood, terror, and the excruciating tension of a man who was never meant to feel... and the woman who should have never survived his world. - #1- Choi Jongho- 28-02-2025 #2- Ateez ff- 28-02-2025

The Summer Siren

16 parts Ongoing Mature

Astrid was preparing for a strong storm one day and then the next she was in completely unknown waters and taken prisoner by an attractive stranger. Not knowing what kind of weird dream she was having she throws herself into the water only to find that she's not in a dream or a stimulation. She climbs onto her boat quickly before she notices another ship heading toward them. She can't get the pirates attention and before she knows it there is another stranger on her ship. Not knowing how to help herself, she continues to follow the pirates orders until she gets a better understanding of what's going on and how she's going to handle this situation. The only question she continues to ask herself is if she's going to live through this as two attractive strangers continue to ignore her as they fight over her and her boat. The Summer Siren will (hopefully) be updated every Thursday.
