Summary
The Jewel of the Realm cut swiftly across the sea. Aboard were the King, the Queen, their nineteen-year-old daughter, Emma, and a full crew. They were bound for the Northern Kingdom—a voyage that could take three months in calm waters, and significantly longer should the temperamental seas turn against them.
Emma’s parents had finally done the one thing they had long promised they never would: they had betrothed her to a prince from a neighboring land. The kingdom was desperate to mend ties with the Queen’s mother’s homeland, and it seemed the princess was the price they were willing to pay to secure the alliance.

Summary
A Princess on the run. A Captain chasing a ghost. Two lost souls meant to find each other.
❤️
“You’re awake,” a strong clipped voice came from the other side of the room. Emma turned, grip tightening even further. She met his eyes, dark rimmed and deep blue, narrowed slightly in contemplation of her. “And alive.”
She said nothing, watching him with an unease which skittered sharply up and down her spine.
“You have nothing to fear from me, lass,” he muttered, raising his left arm from his knee to rest it on the table. A gleam of metal caught her attention.
Neal had spoken tales of a man with a hook for a hand. A man who was a monster. A traitorous pirate who had killed his mother and driven his father to become the beast of a creature caged beneath the palace.
She had thought them merely fancy tales. Nothing more. But the man cocked an eyebrow, a sneer breaking across his face, half hidden in shadow.
She knew of this man. The villain who had lived for hundreds of years, who sold children to demons and toyed with the lives of women and men who dared cross his path.
Neal may have been a liar, but there was no mistaking the pirate in front of her.

Summary
Cannon Divergent. Season 3. Emma & Killian are trapped in the past.
❤️
Emma gasped in horror, moving to step around him and face the monster head on. He had a moment of sudden clarity, enough to sheath his blade, drop the woman off his shoulder and turn; gripping Emma to him with a force that pushed the breath from his lungs. Black smoke circled them, her hands darted out, grabbing the back of his coat, fingers digging into the leather, tight shudders wracking her frame, her face buried in the lapels of his coat. Crackling sparks whirled around them; lightning in a storm of darkness.
He couldn’t breathe. Emma pressed tightly to him. She was crying, screaming into his chest; angry and terrified. The lightning intensified until it blinded him. So different then the portal, or any other thing he had ever been trapped in. Killian bent his face to Emma’s head, and spoke urgently to her, doubting greatly that she could hear him over his hammering heart and the violent maelstrom of magic they stood in the eye of, uttering promises he would die to keep, a promise to never leave her, to get her home, to find her family again.
He whispered into her hair that she would never be alone again.Series
