Egalement disponible en autoédition sur Amazon, retrouvez ce court roman, dur et poignant, sur Wattpad. Mon tout premier roman édité sur Wattpad, dans son jus de l'époque ^^' Gwydion est un jeune esclave celte ne vivant que dans un seul but : gagner sa liberté. Durement entraîné afin de devenir gladiateur et désormais connu sous le nom de Callidromos au terme d'une victoire étonnante, son chemin croisera celui de Thétis. Il se retrouvera alors lié à elle malgré lui, tombant dans un piège qui risque de l'éloigner de son rêve. Considérant tout d'abord Thétis comme une faiblesse, Gwydion finira par comprendre qu'elle est, au contraire, sa plus grande force. Cette fiction n'a pas pour but d'être rigoureusement exacte au point de vue historique, mais juste de conter leur histoire. Narration en alternance de Gwydion et de Thétis. Attention à vos petits yeux tout de même, scènes explicites. ♥ Retrouvez, si vous le souhaitez, les explications concernant cette histoire dans le livre Élucubrations, La naissance de Callidromos. ♥ Disponible sur Amazon (numérique et broché).

As the London Season of 1877 opens, Lady Margaret Savoy wants nothing more than to be invisible and devour "Penny Dreadfuls" to avoid the cruelty of her aunt and cousin. When she finds a letter from her grandfather warning her about a man called the Poisoner, a powerful crime boss who killed her parents, her wallflower days come to an abrupt end as she falls into a deadly investigation. Literally. Out a window, in fact, and right into the path of Lord Alexander Rocque, a young detective. Alexander offers his assistance-with the Poisoner, and the window-and together they set out to discover the Poisoner's plans. But Lord Alexander has plans of his own. Recently ordered home from the Royal Navy to assist his father, a spymaster for the Crown, with the Poisoner case, Alexander is determined to earn his father's respect by catching the criminal through any means necessary. The perfect tool falls into his lap in the form of Lady Margaret, the Poisoner's next target, but using Margaret to draw out the crime boss has Alexander examining his moral compass. As Margaret learns about her heritage and Alexander uncovers his father's affiliation with the East Indian Company, they discover that their families are not so innocent after all. To stay alive in the Poisoner's game, they must find the key to the dying Opium trade-a key Margaret may, in fact, possess herself. If they don't find it, the Poisoner will escape yet again, but even worse, Margaret will become the next victim.

This is the saga of Penthesilea--Queen of the Amazons. What secret pact did she make so many thousand years ago for women which only now is coming true? This new novel features the ancient Amazon culture--once thought only to be a myth. Yet out of the mists of time evidence emerges that this dynamic society of all females-did in fact exist. So powerful was their commitment to the nature and independence of women, that their queen-the wise and agile Penthesilea, using a secret covenant shared by later powerful women-travels across time to fulfill a dynamic wish. Amid this historical backdrop Daniela Collins, a young woman living in San Francisco, becomes embroiled in an astounding discovery which unlocks this compact as it begins to unfold internationally. The ancient Amazon queen's legacy becomes irreversibly tied to a movement where the emancipation and betterment of all females is shockingly put into motion. . . Be prepared to be entertained and enlightened. To secure an e-book of this 1st in the "Penthesilea's Wish" trilogy, go here: https://www.amazon.com/author/califia.montalvo
