When the Pirate King dies without an heir, three teens join a deadly treasure hunt to compete for the island throne.
*****
Seventeen-year-old Csilla yearns to prove her strength to the seasoned pirates who underestimate her. Kane, the descendant of a long line of pirate captains, is ready to prove he doesn't need dirty gold or shady deals to live up to his name. And Lorelei is out for revenge, unaware of the secrets of her past and the target on her back. With the king's death, the Trials begin-a bloody treasure hunt where the winner takes the throne. They each have a reason to fight for the coveted Bone Crown, but there are dark tides ahead. Facing battles at sea, a vengeful land god, and dirty deals made amidst a deadly treasure hunt, Csilla, Kane, and Lorelei must remember the most important rule of all-never trust a pirate.

A Pirate's Tale [COMPLETED]
Wattys shortlist 2021 "I'm already loving this story" - _singforjoy_ "You are going to get me what I want," Isla said, calmly. "Or I will kill you." The words hung in the air between them. Raif looked unconcerned. "Is that so?" he said. Born to the captain of a pirate ship, Isla has spent her whole life at sea. Raised among sailors, her father has trained her to fight, command a crew, and, most importantly, the secrets of the ocean currents. When her father is killed in a storm, she is forced to step into his role as captain. Not only does she have to provide for the men on her ship, but she also inherits her father's outstanding debt to Lord Sutherland: the task of stealing the rare Serpent's Eye emerald. After months of failure to locate the emerald, Isla is forced to take extreme measures: she kidnaps Duke Raif Sayers, who knows of the emerald's location. But Raif proves to be more strong willed and stubborn than Isla expected. Matters become even more complicated when Raif's father offers a large reward for his son's rescue and suddenly every cutthroat is looking for Raif and the pirate who kidnapped him. As Isla and her crew are pushed to their limits and race against their deadline, Isla has to face that the one decision she thought would save her crew could be the very thing that destroys them.

Played For the Satisfaction of Others
On Revelry Island, eighteen-year-old Anya has mastered the art of pleasing others. A songwriter, she was raised by her boss, Byron, with exacting intent and trained to be a perfect, dependable, obedient product, meant to be presented to the world. Trained from the age of six in nothing but music, art, and drama, Anya writes music and performs to ensure the survival of Revelry Island. And, twelve years later, she cannot argue with the results of her raising: world fame, professional prestige, and relative safety. And, just as Byron planned, caught between the conflicting expectations of her sly boss, pirate captains, and military officers, Anya has learned to keep the delicate balance of these three volatile organizations. And she is damn good at her job. Yet deep in her heart, in a place she keeps hidden from her friends and coworkers, Anya sometimes has thoughts about a life outside of Revelry Island. Anya is surviving when Tristan, a charming, flirtatious adventurer, barges into her office and challenges her to dream. With Tristan's endless enthusiasm and audacious spirit to encourage her, Anya opens the small place in her heart where she has always dreamed of adventure. Then Tristan and his crew unknowingly set into motion a string of events that tragically upend Anya's situation, forcing her to give up her music. So, with the help of a sarcastic conductor, a wary adventure crew, a noble, resolute first mate, and a competitive sea captain and a dutiful pirate captain (who both feel an immediate disdain for each other the moment they meet), is Anya willing to fight and risk everyone's lives for the future she has always dreamed of? Or will she safely live her life for the satisfaction of others? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Chapters Will Be Posted on Sundays at Noon EST.
