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.

"Are you sure you want to know what I am talia?" Jason spoke. The huskiness in his words made her toes curls. She swallowed hard. She'd had the nerve on the drive here. Even gave her self pep talks to be able to confront him. But looking at his bare torso, and those pale grey eyes against his dark skin made her mouth dry and the grip on her book slack. He licked his lips, "do you really want to know?" Talia squared her feet and met his gaze. "Yes," she knew she'd regret this later but the darkness she knew that had been looming was crashing in around them. But she had to know. She had to know what world Kyle had shown her. Even if it was going to get her killed. -------------------- Talia Peterson never thought she would be back in Forks. Not after she'd successfully avoided it for the last two summers. But when her father dies she's forced back to the town she despises. And when women start washing up on shore drowned and a strange symbol carved into their neck, the same symbol carved into her father's neck, Talia is thrown into a world full of gods and great spirits. A war that began with a love triangle and a world she didn't know existed. -------- most impressive rankings: #83 in dark romance #14 in Native American

Set Me As A Seal ✓ by outbriefcandle54

A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------

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

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
