King Nebuchadnezzar was a beast of war, ripping through nation after nation and carrying home spoils to great Babylon. He was unaware of two ruthless spiritual entities tasked with keeping his war-mongering in check, neither did he contemplate gods from neighbouring territories and long-imprisoned enemies shaking awake and setting their gaze upon the principality of Babylon. Amid tension among gods, spirits, and angels, King Nebuchadnezzar prepares for battle against the kingdom of Media despite an arranged marriage treaty signed by his late father. But Princess Amytis of Media is determined to do anything to keep the beastly king from bringing war to her home. Will she succeed, and will Nebuchadnezzar survive the crossfire between gods, spirits, and angels? @HistoricalFiction Top 3 Reads (The Historical Awards 2022)

He's mythologically hot, a little bit wicked, almost 100% immortal. And he'll hit you right in the heart . . . --- Lila Black doesn't believe in matchmaking, let alone soul mates. So why is she constantly being hassled by the Cupids Matchmaking Service? But this gilded, cherub-bedecked dating agency isn't exactly what it seems . . . and it's about to turn Lila's entire world upside down. It turns out that Cupids Matchmaking is the real deal. As in, it's run by actual cupids―who don't look at all like they do in the paintings―and they have a serious problem with Lila's "match." Because this guy shouldn't be in the system. He shouldn't have a match. And while he's irresistibly hot, he's also incredibly dangerous. Because Lila's true love match is Cupid. The original bad boy of love. And he wants her. Now Lila's once-normal teenaged world has exploded into a mythological nightmare overrun by crime-lord sirens, wrathful cupid hit men, magic arrows that cause no end of trouble, and a mischievous, not-so-angelic love god she can't seem to stop herself from falling for . . .
