First line of #pirateWIP: “Ambriel!” The disgustingly handsome captain called across the deck of the Sea Witch.

Last line I’ve written: “So you’re saying ___ wants us to find his mate for him?” Ambriel asked. “The mate he treated so poorly she was hidden inside a ___?”

Blurb:

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…
Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes.
Five for Silver, Six for Gold…
Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them.
Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told.

A moodboard in dark tones, featuring a painting of a blond man with chin length hair in a green shirt at the center, with an X drawn across his face through which an xray of his skull can be seen. The images around him are of a university campus with gothic architecture, dark flowers and ferns, chemistry glassware, a ring of sparks, a river delta, machinery, anatomical images, and a smithy.

Text on it reads "THE BODY ABHORS A STRAIGHT LINE. FATE DOES NOT STRIKE IN A STRAIGHT LINE."

"On the surface, I smiled. I kept shoving thoughts down in to the hollowness that had opened inside me, but the harder I pushed, the more something else cracked. Pretending that everything was fine was choking something vital, something buried deep. But I kept smiling, hoping whatever I was strangling wouldn't suffocate completely."
