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 xxsoteriaMature 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.This is book one in the Venture Series.

This city is a mess.First of all, the police are hilariously unsuccessful in arresting a highly criminal nightclub owner. The media are ensuring everyone knows, resulting in city-wide romanization of crime. Second of all, the city's star detective is currently struggling to understand why that nightclub owner- a certifiable genius with a record-breaking intelligence score- chose the criminal lifestyle over, say, being a NASA engineer. And that brilliant criminal's boyfriend is equally confused over why she consistently takes unnecessary risks. This spiderweb of crime has been spun so far that even that detective's ex-fiancé, a bumbling idiot who also has custody over his daughter, is getting involved. So is that bartender who works for that criminal, and so is that detective's boss. And while all that happens, another criminal- most definitely not a certifiable genius- is ready to rip the spiderweb apart. In truth, it doesn't matter what they say about you while you're still here. It matters what they say about you long after you're gone.**Rated mature for graphic depictions of drugs, violence and sex.Stunning cover by deathinreverie…

Death has lost its meaning. Everything is calm in Myria, where the bold claims of an undead man appear to hold no value. The dead stay dead, and the living stay living. The Myriad is a capable ship with a loyal crew, a royal insignia, one maybe-haunted room and one definitely-haunted captain. It's all still, and it's all about to move. There's an enemy out there that just refuses to die, keeping with him an old lover of the same nature. There are legends coming alive, myths becoming reality and powerful people back in the game once more. All of that is only mildly concerning, of course. The true cause of the panic? There's a lost champion. Freedom is just out of reach. *Cover by xxsoteriaYou may encounter mature themes in this book that are further detailed in the disclaimers chapter.This is book three in the Venture Series.
