BOOK 1 - Rusticus' Journey
In 395 AD, a young librarian named Rusticus discovers a plot by Theophilus, the powerful Archbishop of Alexandria, to alter sacred Christian texts to support his own theological and political agenda. Faced with an impossible choice, Rusticus must decide whether to stand by and watch as history is rewritten, or risk everything to preserve the original documents.

When Theophilus threatens to destroy the original manuscripts of the New Testament, Rusticus and his friend Marcus embark on a dangerous mission to steal and protect them. But their daring heist sets off a chain of events that will force Rusticus to flee for his life, leading him on an epic journey from Alexandria to Constantinople and beyond.

Along the way, he forms an unlikely alliance with the fierce and independent Dalilah, who challenges everything he thought he knew about faith, truth, and love. Together, they must navigate political intrigue, religious persecution, and their growing feelings for each other while staying one step ahead of Theophilus's relentless pursuit.

As they delve deeper into the ancient texts they're protecting, they uncover troubling discrepancies between the original writings and the doctrine being enforced by the Empire. Their search for truth will bring them face to face with John Chrysostom, one of history's most beloved and controversial church fathers, whose own struggles with orthodoxy mirror their own.

A gripping tale of romance, faith, and courage, this historical fiction novel explores the price of truth in a world where power corrupts and questioning doctrine means risking everything. Based on real historical events and figures, it offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Christian history when the quest for orthodoxy threatened to override the very teachings it sought to preserve.Todos los derechos reservados

Picking Up The Pieces de SophiaEBenz

Hey guys! This book has been officially published on Amazon. It's available as an ebook or a paperback. The version available on Amazon has been edited and I even changed some of the plot. I'd love it if you went to check it out and maybe even bought it. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BF333KWH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=) Love, Sophia *** "I-" I try to say something, anything, but the words get stuck in my throat when Jonas suddenly grabs the collar of my shirt and pulls me awfully close to his face. "Shut it!" Chills shoot down my spine as if someone just dumped a bucket of ice water down the back of my shirt. What is he doing? I know he can get angry sometimes, but he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me in public, would he? I wait and wait for him to do something, but he does nothing because we get interrupted by a loud voice that sounds through the quiet of the night. "Hey!" I dare to open my eyes a little to see where it's coming from. A tall blond guy, carrying grocery bags is standing a couple yards away. "Yes, I'm talking to you! Step away from the girl right now!" *** The story of two broken souls- Madeleine Evans, a college student in an abusive relationship, and Elias Sanders, a soldier suffering from PTSD- trying to pick up their own and each other's pieces.

Remember That You Will Die [Heroes of Olympus] | ON HOLD de LeonAidSalvacion

He was foretold to die, a reminder from his father, the very nightmare to his evenings. But his Roman heart couldn't refuse duty, so a destiny of death is what he takes a step forward to every day. He is a legacy. He is a protege. He is a destined dead man. But don't you want to know more about who Aleksander Benedictus is? Because there are a few individuals, heroes that are the greatest as told by the prophecy of the seven, that might have the chance to. The only question is, will they be open to knowing a true Roman? And is he open to treat them more than an order from the gods? If you want to know more, I warn you first. You might bring a weapon of glinted bronze, silver, or gold. Some gifts at your disposal from the half-blood you are born to be. But a demigod's journey is always with twists. Most especially with the Heroes of Olympus, through the eyes of a dying legacy. Yet, I know you'll continue on to the next pages because demigods just can't refuse to be the heroes to a world (mostly the mortals) that wants them to go unnoticed.

Hit de Bailey-Elizabeth

"This is the hall bathroom," I motioned as we passed, "and this is the bedroom." "Bedroom?" Cadence clarified. "Just one? But you said I'd be staying here." I turned to see her blushing again, and had the urge to place my hand on her cheek to see if it was as warm as it looked. I didn't. "I still have to make sure you don't try anything," I explained. "You'll be staying in here. Don't worry-- it's a king sized bed." "And," Cadence began, looking anywhere but me as she took in the room, "what else does making sure I don't try anything entail?" I couldn't tell if she was trying to provoke me or not, but either way, I had made up my mind the second I determined she would stay with me exactly how keeping her here would go. "Well for starters," I told her seriously, "I'm going to need you to strip." --- Cadence Maurice wanted nothing more in the world than to have the engagement trip of her life with her fiancé, Isaiah in the beautiful city of Moscow. But all too quickly, everything was taken from her. Isaiah was shot by a man in a mask, and she was kidnapped to a desolate mansion to be interrogated about him. She thought she knew everything about her husband to-be, but the more she's questioned, the more she begins to think that maybe her sweet fiancé was the bad guy. Only, as Cadence quickly discovers, in this story, there is no good guy. Adler Ulrich, assassin by trade, and prized hitman for the dangerous Fedorov Family, thought he'd seen it all. But when he is sent to kill an enemy of the Family and finds his target using an innocent young women as a shield, he's not sure he has. When he brings the woman in for questioning instead of killing her alongside her lying fiancé, he becomes unsure of whether he's saving the blonde-haired beauty, or dooming her to a fate worse than death. Book 3 in the Rough Love Novels *This novel CAN be read as a standalone book. **Currently down for editing! Coming back summer 2021.

King of Death de Kernia_

Adrik When I claimed her, that was it. I made her mine and betrayed her. She longed for a story that wasn't mine to narrate, so I did the only thing a man like me would-I sent her back. Little did I know the secret she was keeping. The worst of all, she ran straight into the enemy's claws, forcing me to start a war to get her back. I killed for her and would do it ten times if it meant I'd claim her heart again. I'd protect my family from demons with everything in me now that it wasn't two but five of us. Giulia I hated him for what he did. He made me fall in love-viciously stealing my heart for his own. I tried to run from him with a secret that I shouldn't whisper, and I knew he could never love me. I ran and regretted it. They caught me, and the revelation of Giulia Caruso hurts more than I could imagine. He's here to claim me again after I vowed never to give in, but how could I not when he is the first man to show me love? He worships me, and I fell for him harder than I did the first time. The man who stole my heart is the man I should fear, but I don't because he keeps the demons away and in return, I stole his.

Life Winder de LifeWinder

Will be updated with a weekly chapter on Sundays! Synopsis: The story follows a young boy named Jonah, born into a city-state of "The One," the foremost religion of Life-Winder's world. Jonah is at an age wherein every child of Giroux must select a career field to be trained in, some of which come with the dissemination of a "gift"-special powers bestowed by the remains of Saints of the One, and antithetic to "dark powers" sourced from a ritual through which a person must carve a mark into their forehead. When Jonah generates a dark power and mark without having undergone such a ritual, the course of his life is altered indefinitely. Initially placed under guard by two knights of Giroux, they will eventually find themselves in a small fort made-town for a single purpose: to retrieve the body of a Saint who has since passed. The town, once devoted followers of The One, was abandoned by Giroux years back when the neighboring city-state of Rashaad attacked. The Saint protected them, and acted as a deterrent for the years that followed. When Rashaad receives word of his death, the knights are put in an ethical quandary: do they abandon the town and its people to certain death like Giroux had prior? Or do they disobey orders, stand their ground, and fight an army with what little they have? A key element of the plot is a mystery that brews in the background of the pages. Years before the events of Life-Winder, the court jester for the King of Giroux was sent as a diplomat to the neighboring kingdom of Rashaad, where he was burned beyond recognition and sent back. Giroux's king, glad to have his fool return, requested a performance of his servant who, preferring death to living as he were, decides instead to insult his king at the cost of his tongue. These events set to motion a period of decay for the kingdom at large, over which the Jester sapped the health and sanity from the king, and at the present extent of which Jonah's story begins.

Blue Embers de cady_carter

In the small college town of Greyheart, Meadow Marsden grew up under the weight of being the Sheriff's Daughter. That is until her Father died of a mysterious and very random heart attack. It's been a year since he died and Meadow is left picking up the pieces. She now wasn't just the town Sheriff's daughter whose Mother took off when she was only three, instead, she's the daughter of the late Sheriff and, technically, an orphan. Without her Dad, Meadow is coasting through the final semesters of college and trying to keep her mental capacity together. That is until she stumbles across an exquisite and exotic ring. It's not the design of the ring that makes it stand out the most, but the fact that it produces a beautiful neon blue hue and when worn, Meadow discovers she can see the dead. But not just any dead, it allows her to see the victims of similar fates as her Dad's. Mysterious heart attacks with little to no traces of heart-related issues prior. Of all the dead visitors the ring brings, Meadow quickly finds out that the ghosts are the last of her worries. Instead, her main and only concern is the person who claims the ring is his and he lost it. Hayze. The son of Hades, the God of the Underworld. Hayze claims the ring does more, it's a sentencing for souls, a talisman used to keep Hades's powers under control. Hades is away on vacation and has entrusted the ring to his only son. Meadow's only chance at seeing her Dad again and getting the truth about what happened to him is with that ring, but Hayze isn't leaving the world of the living without it. Even when the creatures seeking to take control of the ring appear. Meadow's in a fight for her life, the truth, and the acceptance that maybe everything she knew about herself isn't what she thought it was. With the odds against her, she can only lean on Hayze, but how do you trust a man known for the games he plays?
