I was born a slave, condemned to a fate where freedom was but an unreachable dream. My life led me to the court of Emperor Geta, where I was just a shadow among others, a silent being at the service of imperial power. Everything changed the day Geta chose me to be his concubine. This role, both envied and feared, thrust me into the heart of the court's intrigues, where every smile could hide a betrayal. But my destiny did not end there. Caracalla, Geta's twin brother and legitimate heir, represented the future of the Empire. Charged with watching over him, I discovered a complex man, torn between ambition and vulnerability. An odd and unpredictable relationship formed between us, blending tension, jealousy, and moments of unsettling sincerity. In this ruthless world, the ties between Geta, Caracalla, and me were filled with power, love, and veiled betrayals. With Geta, I shared a fragile complicity, but even affection couldn't protect me from the dangers lurking in the palace corridors. From a mere slave, I became both concubine and protector, navigating between loyalty and survival. My story is that of a woman thrown into the heart of power games, in the shadow of the two imperial twins. This work is a historical fiction inspired by Ancient Rome.

"I can't have you," Finnick whispered, pressing a soft, parting kiss to Rose's forehead, "because you'll always be Snows, not mine." Rhoswen (Rose) Snow is the daughter of President Snow, who rescued her from a homeless, destitute life in District Four when she was six years old. She has been raised in the Capitol, and is content there until protests arise amongst the districts. Citizens believe Rose should be reaped since she was born in district four. To keep a Civil War from breaking out, Snow puts his daughter in the ceremony. But then things go awry and she's suddenly the female tribute for Four and her mentor is none other than Finnick Odair, a fleeting crush from years ago. What will happen when a white rose is thrown to the wolves? When a mentor becomes so much more? When the poison spreads? Snow must fall. But the question is: Which one? Daughter or Father? -Covers all 3 books/ movies. -Mature/ sensual content (mature readers only!)
