***SEQUEL TO SWASHBUCKLING IN THE DARK***

Having escaped once again from the reach of English law, Zaina, Dark and crew recuperate on a remote island.  Contemplating their uncertain future and recovering their losses, Dark and Zaina become entangled in a 50-year-old treasure hunt that leads them to unexpected places. 

Wanting to put an end to his long quest for vengeance, Sykes follows new leads in the chase for Captain Grimm. But as he draws closer to the truth, a deadly shadow stalks close behind, threatening to derail Sykes' future.

Alongside the mystery of Captain Grimm, an old legend resurfaces to complicate matters.  Pieces of an ancient chart, a conspiracy within the English court, a legendary pirate,  a devious mastermind and a long-forgotten treasure draw all players into a ghost's dangerous game which promises certain death or the greatest prize of the seven seas.

32 parts Complete Mature
HISTORICAL ROMANCE - ADULT CONTENT Ella Fitzpatrick is a beautiful young lady from a wealthy family. Her mother high and well respected in social circles. Her father the best doctor money could buy. Most women her age are already married with children, however, these marriages are often loveless and arranged to benefit social status. Ella wants to marry for love and she certainly doesn't love Andrew Shapel, the most recent gentleman of high standing to propose to her, much to the approval of her matriarchal aunt who is convinced she has found Ella the best husband in high society. Unfortunately she has sent her to her doom. Andrew may be devilishly handsome and charming on the outside but on the inside he harbours a darkness no one would suspect. She is left for dead on a pirate ship! Falling in and out of consciousness as she is dragged to the brig and left in the darkness with nothing but the painfully vivid recollection of how she got there as company. With the crew calling for her to be thrown overboard and saying a woman on board is a curse, she realises that she is at the mercy of the captain, who doesn't take kindly to stowaways on his ship. She is petrified and prepared to die but little does she know that from the very first moment Captain Thomas Tyler lays eyes on her he finally believed in love at first sight. Placing her under his protection, his anger directed towards those who used his ship as a way to dispose of their crimes. He promises to return her to her family and hopes in time that the memories that haunt her soul will fade. One thing he wasn't prepared for, protecting her from himself. A lady and a pirate is absurd! (NB) Written using modern day colloquialisms intermingled with historical essence.

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.

63 parts Complete Mature

For centuries, the oceans of the world have served as a refuge for the pirates who sailed upon them, but many other dangerous creatures lurk beneath the surface and are now making themselves known. A terrible beast from ancient legends has returned and is now a plague upon the seas. The Pirate Lords are tasked with hunting down the beast, but tensions amongst them are fraught, making things more difficult, especially for Caspian and Primalia Flynn. They know that in order to face both threats surrounding them, they'll need help from someone who knows how to handle the larger of the two. The question is, will he be willing to take up his lance once more? And can he help them destroy the beast, or will another creature of the deep stand in their way? Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with sexual content, abuse, depression, gore, PTSD, and other topics which some might find triggering.
