The Reaper's Claim II Ateez Pirate AU

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. -
