Some things are deadly when broken... Sold for the price of a pig, trained into the most expensive male escort in the peninsula, Hasheem, the Silver Sparrow of Azalea, finds himself running from his hard-earned life of privilege when a woman decides to die in his room. Forced to escape through hostile territories belonging to desert warriors, Hasheem runs into Djari, the immovable daughter of a tribal chieftain who offers him protection in exchange for an oath of lifetime servitude. Prophesied by her oracle brother as the one born to end the centuries-long war between her people and an empire, Djari's precarious destiny plunges them both into the blood sport of power, politics, and warfare that exacts heartbreaking sacrifices in exchange for peace.

Find the new version on my profile, titled Seacliff! :) In 2019, Aidan is a kilt-wearing tour guide on the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh. In 1919, Saoirse is a Great War nurse who's got nothing left to live for - until the sea brings a naked, unconscious man to her feet. Not one easily shocked after caring for the most broken of men in France, Saoirse takes the stranger in and tends to his wounds. Except the man is all kinds of unusual and she begins to question whether he even is a man at all. Is the grief driving her mad or is there more to the world than she ever thought possible? Saoirse hopes to find answers in her Aunt Aoife's diaries, since the gentle giant she rescued from the sea has no recollection of how he ended up there in the first place. * Editors' Choice, December 2020 * an open novella contest entry which grew into a ~75k-word novel completed * prompt: "When something tragic happens, it's often said we lose a piece of ourselves.

One soul. Two lives. One destiny. ***** Torn apart by the gods, twin sisters, Sheala and Cassandra, are each anointed by the Fates to end the war raging upon Geiha. The sisters, one of the light and one of the dark, find themselves on the opposite sides of the conflict between the remnants of the ancient Kingdom of Hitithe and the evil empire of a vampiric Blood Lord. Their separate paths set them on a course where facing their destiny means ultimately facing each other. While one runs from this inevitability, the other has embraced it. And the fate of the world will depend upon which one shall ultimately claim it. Cover designed by Ray Gardener

Finally, the armies of the Hittites have been subdued, but at a high cost to both sides. Egypt could not take back the fortress city of Kadesh, the key to defending their golden land and vassal states, but in the eyes of the Pharaoh, they won something much more significant; peace. After a century of war, it was a much-welcomed outcome for Egypt and Hattusa. The great Hittite general, Hattusili, offers his daughter, the young princess Malawashina, as a bride for Pharaoh to seal their treaty once and for all. But is the treaty the only reason he chooses to send his most precious daughter away from their homeland, away from his heart? How will life fare for her in the distant land of Egypt, where she will ultimately be sent into the clutches of Pharaoh's harem? Will events from the past come back to haunt her? 🗯️This is a pure work of fiction based around the 19th Dynasty/ Ramesside period rule of Usermaatre Setepenre Ramses, aka Ramses II or Ramses the Great. Some historical events are included in this story, but are not written to be historically accurate. 🗯️ ⛔️ There will be scenes of violence, sexual assault, miscarriage and other topics that may be triggering. I will put warnings on the chapters with such scenes, so please be warned. This story is also sexually explicit, but not overtly erotic ⛔️ ⭐Cover by the talented @AnnamitaMuscaria⭐ ❤️@HistoricalFiction Top 25 placement and Recommended Read for Wattpad Historical Awards 2022 Featured in @WattpadHistoricalRomance 'Ancient' list!

Four Empires, Four Feudal Lords, One Orphan Girl, Three Outcasts, One disgraced Royalty, One Prince, Two Sinners and only one answer to the question left unanswered eons ago. Where is An Roghnaithe? (The Chosen) ******** After losing her village, family and friends to a power hungry Feudal Lord in his mad search for a thousand year old object that might just be myth, Ceridwen Yul Abur and her baby sister Dana are forced to go into hiding to avoid being captured by the Gloine Feudal forces. Hungry, starved and lost in woods her people had deemed forbidden and sacred, Ceri encounters a bounty hunter\mercenary troupe hired by an opposing Empire because apparently there is now a price on her head. Ceri is captured and dragged halfway across the kingdom to meet an unknown Feudal Lord, who's entire existence is clouded in a shroud of mystery, and on who's shoulder her entire destiny might as well rest on. In a whirlwind of activities, surrounded by the most unusual group of people who eventually come to mean the world to her, Ceridwen begins to understand that there is far more to her than anyone has ever bothered to tell her and perhaps she holds the key to ending the millennia old dispute that's been existing among the Empires.
