Based off true events tells a story of Roxana, a Bactrian Princess held captive under Alexander the Great. She was always taught to put her country before herself, but is there more to that than what she is told? But as she plans her escape, Roxana captures the heart of the Macedonian King. He adored her in a way she never thought possible. But battles and forces were brewing, and in the midst of it all, she must protect her own sworn enemy. Torn between the love of her country and the undeniable connection with Alexander, Roxana must learn how to live in a world of war and deceit as she is forced to become the mistress to the greatest conqueror of all time. The real question was...who truly owned the heart of Alexander? *excerpt* All monsters were once like you, desperate and alone. But they embraced the other monsters inside their head. Thinking back to my dream with Cassandra, I thought of Alexander's monsters. What made him embrace those monsters? What happened in his past to make so cold, so guarded from all? I wanted to know everything about him in that moment. His fears, his talents, his passions, all that he had to offer. But here he was, pouring his heart out without a single word leaving his lips. In response, I smiled. One brief moment of vulnerability came to light within us both, yet vanished into the darkness once more.

Levi Kalenius has a lot on his shoulders. As the heir to the Cyanis kingdom, he has to choose his new bride wisely. On a rebellious impulse, however, he chooses Amrei Sarafian. Amrei knows her looks makes the prince choosing her ridiculous, and has no intention of taking Levi's decision seriously. The better choice was obviously Amaris, her much more prettier younger sister. With nothing left to lose, she has no reason to be anything but her true self - which both intrigues and frustrates Levi. With a disapproving father, an unpleasant future mother-in-law, a blissfully erratic mother, and his own volatile emotions, can Levi sort through the chaos and find what he really wants?

"Since when do you do brunettes?" "Since a certain blonde fucked me over." I replied back smartly. I inched closer and closer to her, inhaling her floral perfume. As the space got smaller between us, I looked into her eyes as if asking for permission. "Do you know what I admire about you?" "What is it that you admire so much about me?" she replied cutely. I pulled away sharply. "You can be a cold blooded bitch one second and a naive little girl the next." *my first story told in a male's pov!
