Dive into an ancient historical mystery involving the Magi! 

In the shadow of ancient Greece, Thalia flees her past as a coerced Delphi priestess, seeking refuge in Lydia with her enigmatic protector, Kratos. But who is Kratos really? Rumoured to be a double agent, his true motives remain shrouded in mystery.

Their evolving relationship intertwines with the rise of Cyrus of Persia, espionage, and a quest to unmask a hidden magus cabal mastermind bent on assassination. As secrets unravel, Thalia grapples with echoes from her time as an oracle-a haunting connection that leads her to Delphi itself. Amid gothic overtones and a labyrinth of mysteries, she confronts the truth about her own identity.

I'm a classical archaeologist. This novel is plot- and character-based with well-developed characters and arcs, combining enigmatic mystery, espionage, and romance against a rich historical background. It has an intricate plot for which I've made much effort toward creating a captivating mystery. I am committed to historical accuracy and to weaving real events seamlessly into the narrative.

Facing Reality by Mystery_Writer_28

Book 2 of Never Again "Can I have some?" He says he's trying to snag a piece of my pie. I hit his hand and looked at him as if he was insane. "You can't, I'm afraid. You should do what I did. Get the bloody hell out of my face and go ask Mrs. Tina for something" I say. I don't care if he appears to be offended. He better get his fatass out my face before I have to shove my foot up his ass for trying to steal my food. I don't play about my food. "But I want that" he says pointing at the thing in my hand. "I don't care, go get your own" I say pointing my fork at him. "If I can't get a piece, you won't have any." I look at him with wide eyes when he says this. I instantly get up, "Wait a minute. This is something we can discuss." It's pointless since he's chasing me around the couch. I leaped on the couch, causing him to jump on the opposite side. "It's mine, Ha-Alessandro. Why can't you acquire one of your own?" When he gets closer, I say and jump to the ottoman. "Because you make that one seems good," he continues, his gaze fixed on me. Are we still talking about the food? I don't know "You're a grown ass Mafia man chasing me down for a damn pie," I say as I leap onto the table. I'm hoping this crap is strong. Thalia only had one thing in mind and that was to escape one way or another. Life keeps throwing things at her, quite literally. She keeps handling everything while trying to keep a strong font. Although its starting to get hard with the betrayal she's facing, the lies, lust, and confusion all at once. Just like before, some things are not as they seem.

Callie and her new husband must travel between the Underworld, Earth, and Olympus to gain help from some larger-than-life gods and fix everything before it's too late.

Eris Vanserra's Alphabet by sharksscripting

Eris Vanserra's Relationship Alphabet! ------------------------------------------------------------------ This collection of short stories shows Eris Vanserra in different relationships and how he acts in situations out of cannon. There is cannon reference, but some of these one-shots are purely fiction, such as the Demetra one: Eris has never met this human, but imagine the interaction between the two, here, you don't have to. However, tensions between people like Nesta, Cassian, and Azriel can be further explored. For any missing letters, characters who I haven't named under that category are welcome to be submitted so I can write a relationship between Eris and those letter-named characters. Anyhow, enjoy reading if you so choose. 🐦‍🔥 ✦ Cover Art by @moonyandtoasts on Instagram, please check out their art and leave amazing comments and reviews! ♥️ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Awards 🎖️ #1 - Azris | 1/14/25 #2 - Posted on Ao3 | 1/14/25 #4 - Azriel Shadowsinger | 1/14/25 #5 - LoA | 1/10/25 #8 - Helion | 1/14/25 #9 - Tarquin | 1/14/25

Mistress of Beasts by NekyiaKat

COMPLETE - Threa is a descendant of a long line of Sorceresses, currently living in hiding, confined to their mountains. In order to expiate a crime she committed she was sent undercover to work for a renowned scholar of the Academy's Division of Tradition and Heritage, the esteemed Kasos Belras. Notorious for its dismissive attitude towards women, the Academy is one of the most hostile environments for Threa. But after the discovery of a mystical artefact stuns the academic community, it is up to Threa and her newly appointed guardians to find the others like it before they fall into the hands of the Six Sorcerers who rule the planet. If they do, then all Sorceress Houses will be annihilated. This story is a reverse-harem, high fantasy novel heavily inspired by Ancient Greek mythology and religion. The themes and characters of Greek myth are changed here to meet the demands of this original story. I have also drawn from other myths, primarily those featuring vampires, and dragons, among others. Book 1 deals more so with these motifs, while Book 2 features other mythical beings like satyrs and centaurs.

Greece Odyssey by Cocomonetxos90

**Book Summary: Greece Odyssey** Amid the tranquil coastal village of Elysia, a young fisherman named Leonidas dreams of adventure beyond the shimmering horizon. Fate, however, has designs greater than his dreams. When the muse Calliope descends from Olympus, draped in a cloak woven from the light of the stars, she reveals to Leonidas his role in an age-old prophecy-one that speaks of a mortal who will stand against the turbulent tides of godly strife. Guided by Calliope's celestial wisdom, Leonidas embarks on a treacherous odyssey to secure the blessings of the gods. His journey tests his mettle and resolve as he faces mythical beasts, cunning adversaries, and his own inner demons. Along the way, he crosses paths with the likes of Athena, Hermes, Medusa, Circe, and more, each encounter leaving an indelible mark on his soul. As Leonidas' legend grows, so too does the tumult among the gods of Olympus. Zeus, seated atop the divine pantheon, observes the mortal's progress with a mixture of trepidation and intrigue. In a climactic assembly of the gods, a decision is reached that will forever alter the fate of both realms-a decision that beckons Leonidas toward an ultimate confrontation. Leonidas' quest culminates in a cataclysmic clash of gods and titans, where the threads of fate converge and diverge with every heartbeat. As the young hero confronts his own limits, he must also confront the malevolent deity who has manipulated the very fabric of existence. With courage forged in the crucible of trials, Leonidas rises to a destiny beyond imagination. In a world where the divine and mortal realms intersect, where power and virtue collide, "Echoes of Olympus" weaves an epic tapestry of heroism, sacrifice, and the unbreakable ties between humanity and the gods. As the constellations blaze overhead, the story's echoes resonate through time, a reminder that the echo of one mortal's valor can ripple across the cosmos, forever shaping the world
