Zimri-Lim is the last heir of the kingdom of Mari and the contemporary of Hammurabi. When his father was killed, he left the kingdom and forcibly fled to the nearby city-state. After several years had passed, he decided to reclaim his throne, and he began his reign by deposing the King of Assyria. He came close to losing his humanity for the sake of power and authority. It turns out, he gets everything he wants, but not until he meets Euphemia, a girl from the future.
Euphemia tries to avoid him but ends up finding her way into his heart. It doesn't take them very long to realize that they are drawn into a passionate love and are secretly breaking the Mesopotamian law.
An ancient romantic tale set in the times of ancient Mesopotamia.

We Who Break
Everyone she loves has made the same decision. They just haven't told each other yet. The lies are spent. The performances are over. The enemy that was a rumor is at the gates, and the only people who can stop it are the four who are quietly planning to destroy one another to do it. One of them will write a thousand names into clay and call it mercy. One of them will walk into a child's room with a blade and a reason that works. One of them will offer up the thing that cannot be replaced. And one of them already knows how this ends, and is doing it anyway. There is a night coming when the oaths go silent, and anything can be unmade. Three clocks are ticking toward it. None of them are coincidence. Love won't save them. Being right won't save them. The math is clean, and the math is monstrous, and someone they love is the price. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘴 --- 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘛𝘸𝘰. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘥. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘣𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.
Unwritten years
Driti Kashyap, a psychiatrist burdened by a painful past and the ghosts of betrayal, thought she had buried her childhood behind locked doors. Raised as an orphan in a cold and loveless home, she finds herself entangled in a long-distance romance-until heartbreak leaves her questioning everything. But when a mysterious event sends her spiraling back in time into her 16-year-old body in 2007, she's faced with a terrifying opportunity: to rewrite her fate. Back in her teenage world of chalk-dust classrooms, whispered crushes, and hallway stares, Driti finds herself caught in a slow-burning love triangle between two very different boys-Parth, the quiet and distant artist with eyes full of unspoken truths, and Abhigyan, the charming lover who once shattered her heart in another lifetime. With each interaction, the line between fate and free will blurs. As secrets from her parents' tragic past emerge-an enchanted ring, a forgotten locket, and the haunted ruins of an old school wing-Driti realizes that changing her own story could unravel everything. Because some timelines protect more than memories... they hide deadly truths. Full of emotional depth, mystery, romantic tension, and supernatural twists, this novel explores what it means to heal, to love again, and to risk everything for a second chance at the life she was never allowed to live. Will changing the past bring healing-or something far more dangerous? Unwritten Years is a powerful tale of second chances and fate.

She is aware of the things that the servants and handmaidens say about her. She also doesn't care. She just wants to leave. It all changes, however, when she gets exactly what she wished for, but at a price. Years of turning away suitors led her parents to take her life in their own hands, and they shipped her off to the other side of the world to carry out an arranged marriage with the handsome Prince Caspian, heir to the Shah of the Sand Nomads. Io knew that as far as future husbands went, she lucked out. Caspian was kind and considerate-however, the only issue was that on the day of their wedding, his older sister, Callisto, would be sacrificed in honor of their marriage. Io didn't like murder to begin with, but as she befriended Callisto, she realized that she didn't want to say goodbye just yet. They all go on a trip together to celebrate their last bit freedom, but somewhere along the way, their wanderlust takes control and they run away to explore the world on their own terms. But when no one is there to keep them from discovering certain places, they learn many things about both them and their pasts: they aren't who they think they are. The more secrets that come out, the less they want to return. But knowledge is dangerous, and once it's discovered, there is no going back. •─────⋅☾⊱♰⊰☽⋅─────• Huge thanks to @TaeTaeGinger for cover design!

Ambrosia silently pulled her knees to her chest, hoping to become invisible." "As his golden brown hair blew in the wind, Rose noticed the picture perfect scene laid out before her. Behind him, a blend of merigold, rose, lilac, and lapis lazuli lit up the evening sky. His body bathed in a golden hue.

Hidden in the lapis, faint stars could be seen."Complete![REPLACEMENT WIFE (Short Story) [THE MARTYR WIVES BOOK 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/349881589-256-k80775.jpg)
