The Black Quill Cruise Ship Novels & Stories

Jason opened his mouth to respond, but before he could speak, Mia’s voice cut through gently but firm. “There’s a ship,” she said, looking between the Elders and Jason. “Fourteen day cruise. It departs from Adelaide, loops through New Zealand, then the top of Australia, and ends in Bali before returning. You’d be off pack lands, out of reach of duty, and… maybe closer to fate.” Nathan crossed his arms, glancing at Jason. "Wouldn’t kill us to relax. Just once." Jason sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’ll think about it.”

I argued. "Your brother was the accountant for a gang—a family rather—The Black Rose." The Black Rose. It was the name Elijah had called his company, and now they were saying it was a gang? "And now that he's gone, they won't stop until they wipe out the rest of The Black Rose," Silas took a step back. "You signed your fate the second you stepped foot in Italy with that passport. If they get their hands on you, they will kill you or worse."

Once she was ready, Sean draped an arm around her and walked her out of the villa. A sleek black Cullinan was waiting at the front gate. Sean’s assistant, Sam, was in the driver’s seat and took them straight to the harbor. The sky was a brilliant shade of blue, so clear it instantly lifted the mood. A salty breeze swept in from the water, cool and refreshing. Rows of white sailboats and yachts lined the harbor. But standing tall among them was a massive white cruise ship—sleek, elegant, and impossibly grand, like a floating palace.

His fingers moved quickly as he typed something before finally answering a call. “Hello, this is Ronal from Ashford Group,” he said coldly and straight to the point. “I need assistance right now.” Camelia turned to look at him. She could see the change in Ronal’s expression, far more serious than usual. “The Ocean Crown cruise ship bound for the Bahamas,” Ronal continued firmly. “Stop that ship in the middle of the sea. Do not let anyone disembark before my team boards.” For a few seconds, he listened to the response from the other side, then his eyes narrowed slightly.

••• The Quade family sent someone to pick them up early the next morning. The Quade family's heir would hold the wedding on a cruise ship at noon tomorrow. But there would be a party tonight, so the guests were heating to the cruise ship in advance. Arriving at the dock, Bethany got off and saw a huge cruise ship parked outside the platform. At a glance, it was nearly 100 metres long and dozens of metres wide. "So big!" Bethany said surprisedly. Hearing her words, Zayn, who just got out of the car not far away, suddenly paused.

Vane coughed up dark blood, staring up at me with terrified, wide eyes as I stood over him, my silver runes burning with absolute authority. "It's over, Vane," I said, my voice cold as ice. "Your rebellion ends today." Vane let out a desperate, wheezing laugh. "You... you think I'm the mastermind, girl?" He spat blood onto the floor, his trembling finger pointing toward the high balcony overlooking the city harbor. "Look... look at the harbor!" I turned, my heart freezing in my chest. Through the shattered stained-glass windows, out in the middle of the burning royal harbor, a massive, ancient black warship was rising out of the water—a vessel three times the size of Vane's entire Sunfang fl

The morning after Inquisitor Vane’s ultimatum, the Blackwater River looked like a graveyard of iron. Three massive Southern warships sat anchored in the center of the flow, their steam vents huffing rhythmic clouds of grey smoke into the pristine mountain air. They were "teeth" of a different kind—not bone and sinew, but coal and steel. ​Rhea stood on the battlements, her fingers tracing the rough stone of the manor. Beside her, Elias was a statue of suppressed fury. The grey-gold veins on his neck pulsed in time with the thrumming of the ships' engines.

the boy gave Quinlan a firm nod and was about to take his leave when he stopped, "anything else, my lord?" Quinlan shook his head, "now go ensure everything else on this ship is in order." Just as the gamma turned his back to him, Quinlan put his hands on the ship's wooden railings. The seaport was out of sight now, they were leaving Easton Glasgow to fight the Black Mad Wolf in the North. Hamilton was only a few feet away from Quinlan he suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes. He blinked in confusion and held the wooden stick of fire as he stared right ahead of him.

I shouted into the glare, I had spotted up to five tiny ships coming towards us with immense speed. They all had black flags on them, designed with human skull as a warning. “Pirates, oh silly human pirates messing around.” “Oh how very great,” Tasha muttered to herself, she threw her orange peels into the water. “Just as I was about to get comfortable and have a good nap.”

Ashton said. "Since you've put it that way, Mr. Gray, it'll be rude of me not to reciprocate your gesture," Walter replied. "Most of the Wraiths' shipping operations happen out of the East Port. A cruise ship by the name of The Horizon will be setting sail at 10:00 pm tonight. That's all I know." "Thank you." Now that Ashton had gotten the information he wanted, he dashed off in the Lamborghini, flooring the gas yet again as he drove straight toward the East Port.
