When Rome Stood Firm

The year is 476 AD. The great beast that is the Western Roman Empire lies dying. Outside the fog bound walls of Ravenna, the barbarian king Odoacer waits with patient hunger, ready to claim the corpse of a civilization that ruled the world for a thousand years. Inside the cold halls of the imperial palace sits Romulus Augustus. He is only fifteen years old. To the world, he is nothing more than a puppet emperor, a boy wearing a crown too heavy for his head. A placeholder draped in purple silk, waiting for history to finally turn the page on Rome. Even his own people whisper behind his back, calling him the Little Disgrace. Then fate strikes with merciless clarity. When his father, the empire’s last true protector, dies in the mud, the illusion of safety shatters. The siege tightens. Romulus is abandoned. His generals are traitors searching for a new master, and his own guards prepare to trade the boy’s life for their survival. He is trapped in a city ready to surrender its emperor to the butchers beyond the gates. But despair does not kill him. In the deepest depths of fear and grief, something else awakens. The frightened boy breaks. Romulus refuses to become a sacrificial lamb. Armed only with a stolen dagger and a burning hunger for vengeance, he crawls out of his besieged city through the filth of its sewers, not to flee, but to hunt. Tonight, the young Caesar dies. And something far more dangerous takes his place. History has already written Rome’s obituary. But the Wolf of Ravenna is about to rewrite it in blood.

THE MYSTERY SWORD

Blood dripped from the warrior’s sword. A fallen emperor lay lifeless at his feet. An entire army had fled in fear. Yet… The man who stood victorious showed no pride. No joy. No emotion. Because his war… was never truly over. Haunted by visions of a mysterious woman, the undefeated warrior begins to question his own fate. But before he can uncover the truth— He awakens. Not on a battlefield… But as a king. In the vast and majestic empire of Kantharva, where magic flows through bloodlines and towering palaces touch the skies, a ruler unlike any other sits on the throne. A king feared by enemies. A king respected by his people. A king hiding a past no one fully knows. When a young boy named Agan arrives at the grand palace during a once-in-eight-years festival, his curiosity leads him to a story long buried in time. A story of: Ancient magic… Forbidden powers… And a warrior named Ariyan—who came from a distant land known as Preta Desam. But the truth is far darker. Behind the glory of empires lies a history soaked in sacrifice. Thousands died to build this kingdom. And the bloodshed… is far from over. Far away, a terrifying force awakens. The Yokai. Creatures that cannot be destroyed— Unless one makes the ultimate sacrifice. A power known as Agomi holds the key. But its price… Is life itself. As destiny tightens its grip, a warrior named Ratrangasan is faced with an impossible choice: Save the world… Or sacrifice himself to end the darkness forever. Across timelines, across kingdoms, across lives— Fates begin to intertwine. The past returns. The present trembles. And the future… burns. A king with a forgotten past.

A Dangerous Kind Of Love

It is impossible for a police officer to fall in love with a criminal. That’s what Riley believed. That’s what she was trained to believe. Riley Knox goes undercover knowing exactly what she’s walking into. A powerful CEO. A spotless public image. And rumours of ties to an organisation that has ruined lives and vanished without a trace. Her job is simple: observe, listen, gather proof, and get out. No attachments. No mistakes. But nothing stays simple for long. The more time Riley spends around Nathaniel, the harder it becomes to separate the role she’s playing from the feelings she’s trying to ignore. He isn’t what she expected. He’s careful, quiet and controlled. And somehow, in the middle of lies and half-truths, something real begins to grow between them. Then there’s Melanie. She isn’t part of the investigation, but she becomes impossible to overlook. A child caught between distance and discipline, acting out because it’s the only way to be seen. Loving too loudly in a house that doesn’t know how to love gently. Riley never meant to care, but caring happens anyway. All three of them are struggling in their own way. Riley with the weight of her duty. Nathaniel with the secrets he refuses to let go of. Melanie with emotions she doesn’t yet know how to name. Somehow, without meaning to, they begin to lean on one another. Not perfectly. Not safely. But honestly. And that’s where everything starts to fall apart. Because love built on secrets doesn’t stay hidden forever. And when the truth finally comes out, Riley will have to choose between the badge she swore to honour and the people she never planned to love. The question is not whether love can survive danger. It’s whether anyone walks away from it unbroken.

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

A Shotgun Wedding with the Mafia Don

“You need a wife.” She said. “What makes you think that you are cut out to be my wife?” Oliver asked. The smug smile on his lips was the only indication that he didn’t find her suggestion offensive. “I am not like any of the other women you’ve been with before, Mr. Morton.” Seductively, she let her fingers draw patterns across his chest. “Ms. Sophia, are you aware that you’re playing a dangerous game?” He asked, capturing her fingers that were busily tickling the five o’clock shadow along his jawline. “I am.” But really, was she? But this was not the time to back out now. To second-guess herself. “But are you brave enough to play my game?” She dared, looking him directly in the eyes. Without giving him time to react, she kissed him. Damn! She knew she should stop. This man was her enemy, but her body wouldn’t let her. She missed this. Being wanted. Being desired. Being... No! Not love. This was not love. Oliver saw her as an object. A beautiful woman to conquer, nothing more. And she should feel the same way. No! She could not fall back into his charms. Armed with this realization, she busily let her other hand wander off until she felt it. The hard, metallic weapon that he put aside. Grabbing it, she immediately placed it on his temple, mimicking his action earlier. Then, she gradually pulled her lips away. “Are you gonna kill me now?” The great Mafia Don asked, but she could not see any trace of fear in his eyes as he stared at her. Only curiosity. “No, as I said, I’m not like the woman you’re used to. I know what I want, and I get it.” She said confidently, while slightly pushing her body harder against his. Damn! Her body still responded the same way to him, just as she remembered it. “And what do you want, Ms. Sophia?” He asked, lifting his hand to cradle her chin gently against his fingers. But he never attempted to remove the gun she had placed threateningly against his temple. The most feared man in the city just sat quietly, watching her. “As I said, marry me?” *** Amelia Clarke might have been the curvy, nerdy girl who was constantly bullied and mocked by everyone, but she still won the heart of the Quarterback King. Oliver Lambert. But her happily ever after came to an end too soon. After four years of keeping their love affair a secret, she finally discovered that Oliver was not the man she thought he was. It turned out that he was the heir of the Morton Group and the next Mafia Don. Moreover, he was already engaged to a famous heiress. Now, Oliver’s father, the current Mafia Don, wanted her out of the picture. And he would do anything to finish the job. Leave Oliver, or he would make her and her family’s lives miserable. Give up the custody of her child, or the child would not see the light of day. Amelia tried to seek Oliver’s help, but the misunderstanding between them, plus Maximus manipulations, had already caused irreparable damage to their relationship. Left desperate and with no other option, she tried to run away with her family so she could protect her child. But the accident happened, taking the lives of her parents and unborn child. But was it really an accident? Left with nothing but a broken heart, she moved away. What started with love eventually turned to hate. What was once a promise of forever became a hunger for revenge. For six years, she lived with only one thing on her mind. To make her ex and his family pay. Motivated by vengeance, she returned as a completely different person. Amelia Clarke was dead. The chubby nerd was no more. In her place, Sophia Maddison was born. A supermodel and a promising entrepreneur. Her first agenda. Infiltrate the Morton’s business. Seduce the new Mafia Don. Oliver Morton. Marry him. Then, take everything that mattered to him. His business, his family, and even his child. *** [Warning: Mature steamy content, moderate violence, and some inappropriate language] COVER PHOTO - Credit to the owner.
