"Our brothers and sisters in Rome are being fed to the lions." After the Great Fire of Rome in A. D. 64, the Emperor Nero places the blame on the Christians, a people whose faith in the crucified and risen Jesus Christ of Nazareth carries them through the worst of persecutions. In their home in Jerusalem, Jesse and his sister, Abigail, hear of the persecution in faraway Rome. Then suddenly it's not so far away anymore. Jesse and Abigail's parents are killed for their faith in a Roman Circus. After the death of their parents, Abigail clings to her faith in Christ. But Jesse is angry. He's angry at the Romans and angry at God. More than anything, he wants revenge on the Romans, yet he feels helpless to do anything against them. Then one fateful day, Jesse and Abigail find themselves captives on their way to Rome. And what awaits them there? Slavery or death?All Rights Reserved

Stolen (Rewrite) by lizbliz123

Also please I kept the original up for those who liked it so you don't have to yell at me for taking it down lol ***this story handles very strong topics such as Self harm, death, rape and torture please read with caution*** Roman was kidnapped at a young age. He only knew his kidnapper by "Daddy" and he wasn't allowed to call him anything else. He was starting to lose hope he'd ever get away, and then his "Daddy" tells him he has a surprise for him. A son. When his "Daddy" comes In dragging a struggling teen behind him he doesn't know how to react. But he knows he won't let that kid be stuck with his kidnapper for as long as he has been.

In a kingdom called Lucefinia twin brothers named Romulus and Remus were born but due to reasons neither of them could understand Romulus had to be taken away from the palace and pretend as if he was dead by order of their parents changing his name to Roman. Years went by and after their parents death and Remus's coronation, Roman applies to be a servant for Remus to reconnect, what happens now that Roman is hopelessly devoted to his tyrant twin? (Warnings: I'm not that good with punctuation so please be gentle, there is blood,death and lots of angst also it has some Logicality, one sided Royality and one sided intrulogical.) This story was taken from the pride arc of the evillous chronicles manga and song series by mothy with quite a few changes to fit it all into one story. Btw this is a story about the love between two brother but it isn't remrom so remrom shippers, back off.

WARHAVEN by livvymb

His irises swirled slowly, an enticing pale silver against his stark black lashes. They illuminated slightly, so quick it was gone in a blink. He broke our eye contact, lifting his head straight. A darkly amused expression appeared. It happened so quickly it seemed like a mask appeared. I blinked myself out of my trance, and turned on my heel to see what was at the receiving end of his humor. Augustus stood there. His face contorted into anger as he took in my ruined dress. His hands shook in his fury. "Roman." Augustus nearly snarled the name. "Have you come to join us, little King? The party was just getting started." So his name was Roman, some big secret. I rolled my eyes at the reveal as well as his taunting sentence. "Davina, what is going on here?" Augustus asked, his eyes full of betrayal. I had never seen him so guarded. I could feel his anger through my bones. His words were careful. What was he talking about? My brows furrowed at the insinuation, "What?" A line of smoke floated around my right shoulder and come between Augustus and I. How convenient. I had the desire to swipe it away but didn't. "What can I say, she...seduced me." Roman purred. His voice was a sensual whisper in my left ear. I subconsciously lifted my shoulder and backed away from it. Not only because he had lost his fucking mind, but also because it shot down my spine, caressing my skin. ** This book contains mature content. I will not give a maturity warning in advance, besides this one. The list of trigger warnings is as follows: DARK THEMES/violence/sex/mature language/r*pe/blood/beatings/war/torture/death/dominance/weapons/selfharm/suicide ** This book is 100% my original work.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.
