Coliseum Stories

Kingdom Syphix had a special reputation for having a demon as a citizen. That may have been why they kept the Scourge around in the first place, considering the kingdom turned into a tourist attraction because of him. Even with all of the popularity they were getting, the demon was never praised. While the rest of the gladiators showered in affection and riches, the Scourge was ridiculed. Nobody would want to care for a being that could kill a hundred men if he had the mind to. Atlas Syphix, the daughter of the corrupt king, started going to the coliseum to watch the violence because of the boredom she had sitting in her palace. One day, in particular, she saw a gladiator that was nothing like the others. He was muscular, tall, and intimidating. He was everything that a common person wasn't. Atlas had her eyes on a demon, but as the king forbids The Scourge to experience any form of social interaction, she would have to talk to him in secret.

Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com

I started writing this book at the age of fourteen as a pass time, but as I wrote more I began to love the people I had created. It took me a long time to write this, but by the end of secondary school it was complete. I only heard of this site recently and only after I got my book published. However, all I even wanted was to share my book, my story. If you want to read something that comes from the soul then I invite you with open arms to read my creation. I love it so... and I hope you will too. Addition note is that the first paragraph is simply an introduction to one character, you really need to keep reading into the second and third chapters to see who everyone is and such forth. So please do read up 'til then, comments and votes will be equally welcomed.
