Paris has fallen. Europe is in ruins. The man responsible? Napoleon Bonaparte, short, morose, dictatorial, conquered the hearts of France by his charm, conquered the countries of Europe by his sword, refuses to give up even as the Great Powers shove him off his throne and coop him up far from his beloved France, near his native Corsica, where his career kicked off. What will be his fate? An island exile or a brilliant comeback?

Echoes of Babylon
"My name is Esharra, and though the years weigh heavily upon me, I stand as a witness to the resilience of our people. We have endured loss, abandonment, and the cruelty of kings, yet we are still here. Babylon may no longer claim us, but her memory runs through our veins like the rivers that once fed her fields. I have led my people through fire and ruin, not because I sought power or glory, but because I could not bear to see them fall. We have built anew, on land that holds no allegiance to tyrants, where our children can grow without fear. As I look upon this valley, our home, I know my time is nearing its end. But I am at peace. The stories of our past are now the foundation of our future. Let them remember not the man who led them, but the strength they found within themselves. Babylon lives, not in stone or empire, but in us. And so long as we carry her spirit, she will never be forgotten."Complete
The Risen Empire
In the heart of ancient Rome, where power is seized with blood and betrayal lurks in every shadow, the mighty Valerius dynasty falls to ruin. The once-great ruler and his family are brutally slaughtered in a coup led by treacherous conspirators-except for one. Lucius Valerius, the sole heir, barely escapes the carnage, left for dead in the untamed wilderness beyond the city's walls. With nothing but his wits and an unyielding thirst for vengeance, Lucius is forced to fight, adapt, and survive in the brutal underworld of Rome. From the lawless slums to the gladiator pits, from war-torn battlefields to the grand halls of treachery, he gathers allies-outcasts, rebels, and warriors who, like him, have nothing left to lose. As the empire rots under the rule of corrupt tyrants, whispers of a fallen prince rising from the shadows begin to spread. Rome will tremble when Lucius returns-not as a desperate survivor, but as a force of reckoning. The throne was stolen. The empire corrupted. But the blood of emperors still flows in his veins. And he will stop at nothing to reclaim what is rightfully his.Complete

Abyss - Book Five of the Alpha Series - MxM
There was only one thing left for Nicolas to do: step into a role he had never meant to fill. A role thrust upon him, whether he was ready or not. As he stood on the edge of his new life, he'd never felt more himself, more powerful-and more terrified. In one moment, he would shed his past, leave behind his fears, and become the man the world needed him to be-the one who would end the divide and unite the kingdoms. Or so he hoped. For years, Nicolas had buried the truth of who he was. He had conformed to expectations-a king who never faltered, a good Catholic, a man of the people. But the man he truly was, the man he had long hidden, didn't fit into that mold. A short gay man who relied on knowledge rather than the blade of the sword in a world that demanded strength, masculinity, and tradition from its rulers was a far cry from the church's image of a king. Faced with the confirmation of his role, the expectation to marry and produce heirs seemed almost more terrifying than the war looming on the horizon. But what truly crushed him was turning his back on his relationship with the man he loved in favor of one that would satisfy the court. With battle closing in and the kingdom looking to him for answers, one wrong move could destroy everything he had worked to protect. The enemies were not only at the gates-they were in his court, watching for any sign of weakness. Yet, as the pressure of leadership mounted, Nicolas realized that the greatest threat he faced was not the war but the truth of who he was.Complete
