A reckless stowaway boards the most feared ship in the seven seas, harboring just enough wit- and leverage- to keep his head. With an ancient knowledge and an impossible map, he holds the key to artifacts that have long since faded into myth. However, a journey to adventure and riches rapidly becomes a dire race when a crazed rival catches wind of the task. Faced with a series of ailments on shore and at sea, he will grow to question the morals and sanity of himself and those who surround him, all the while slowly discovering that there is far more to the men and ruthless Obsidian captain than a homicidal reputation.

This is a story I have worked on for three years, and I finally feel confident enough to begin the third draft! It will be slow going, but hopefully worth the wait. This story is my heart and soul, so I hope it will bring as much enjoyment to you as it does to me!

The Heart of the Sea | ON HOLD by Jeannette_M_C
20 parts Ongoing
Eryx, a deckhand aboard the Iron Heart, has long accepted the harsh life at sea under the fearsome Captain Blackhart. Keeping to himself, Eryx knows his place-until the crew captures a mermaid. Stolen from the waves, the mermaid becomes a prisoner, unable to return to the ocean. Her presence is said to protect against sea monsters and sirens, but Blackhart sees only the wealth she could bring as a prize for the King of Kaldur. In exchange for her freedom, the mermaid strikes a deal with Blackhart: she will lead him to the long-lost wreck of the Fidelis, a ship fabled to carry unimaginable riches. The crew is eager for the promised treasure, but Eryx, the only one who notices the mermaid's quiet suffering, finds himself drawn to her. As he secretly tends to her wounds, a bond forms between them, forcing Eryx to question his role on the ship and his loyalty to a captain consumed by greed. As the Iron Heart sails ever closer to the treasure, the journey becomes perilous. The sea grows restless, its winds carrying whispers of curses and ancient powers. Eryx senses a danger far greater than the treasure they seek-a force stirring beneath the waves, tied to the mermaid and the Fidelis. Torn between his duty to the crew and his desire to help the mermaid escape, Eryx faces a choice that could doom them all. With the Iron Heart on the brink of finding the fabled wreck, Eryx must decide where his allegiance truly lies-whether some treasures are worth the cost of freedom. But the sea never forgets what it's lost, and it always demands a price.
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.

Now deemed a dangerous enemy to the crown, Ari escapes the confines of the castle walls and runs directly into the notorious pirate captain's path. Quickly, Ari will learn if she was right to be intrigued by this band of pirates or if she should have learned to fear them instead.
