Double-agents Stories

Dive into an ancient historical mystery involving the Magi! In the shadow of ancient Greece, Thalia flees her past as a coerced Delphi priestess, seeking refuge in Lydia with her enigmatic protector, Kratos. But who is Kratos really? Rumoured to be a double agent, his true motives remain shrouded in mystery. Their evolving relationship intertwines with the rise of Cyrus of Persia, espionage, and a quest to unmask a hidden magus cabal mastermind bent on assassination. As secrets unravel, Thalia grapples with echoes from her time as an oracle-a haunting connection that leads her to Delphi itself. Amid gothic overtones and a labyrinth of mysteries, she confronts the truth about her own identity. I'm a classical archaeologist. This novel is plot- and character-based with well-developed characters and arcs, combining enigmatic mystery, espionage, and romance against a rich historical background.

Immerse yourself in the ancient world of Rome. In the heart of ancient Rome, where marble statues guard their secrets and the Senate chambers echo with whispered plots, two lives converge -- a man known as Marcus and the beautiful and reticent Kyra. Kyra, a young medica, arrives in Rome for an arranged marriage. Her journey leads her to the heart of intrigue, where shadows cling to every cobblestone. As she glimpses the enigmatic Marcus, memories stir -- a youthful bond, secrets shared and a forbidden attraction. Yet warnings abound: Sejanus, the emperor's cunning right hand, eyes them both. Marcus, once favoured by power, now treads perilous ground. His loyalty to the late son of Caesar Tiberius has cast shadows upon him. Whispers of betrayal cling to his footsteps, and the Tower of Malatha beckons -- a refuge or a trap. As the sun sets over the Eternal City, the Tower of Malatha stands sentinel. Its stones harbour more than mere echoes; they cradle the fate of two souls entwined by ambition, love and treachery. Will they ascend to greatness or plunge into the abyss?
