Gods of Death Want Life by MalloryDockery

Wrote part of this back in 2013. It is a companion to the canon and completed it Feb 2021 and EDITED better June 2021. Still not fully edited, but I loved reading it again and again. It's ending is supposed to be a cliff hanger to a potential spin off series I have been writing for years which follows the First Triumvirate, BEFORE Caesar becomes Dictator for life. Still unfinished but I have been writing that series HBO! STARS! WHOEVER WANTS TO PICK UP THIS GENRE. lol

The Pompeiian Horse by GabboDeLaParra

After many years away- fighting countless battles to keep the Roman Empire safe, Prime Centurion Vettius returns to Pompeii, his hometown. During this almost forced vacation, he discovers something he wasn't expecting in the populous sea resort. He debates between accepting it and leaving Pompeii because facing the implications of his discovery is too complicated. Equus the Stallion is a former gladiator living a different life now. He's Pompeii's sweetheart, beloved and adored by almost everyone. Those who don't love him envy him or have even darker motives to wish him ill. Still, he's a celebrity and stays in everyone's mind and heart. When Equus and Vettius discover what they are to each other's past (one spared the life of the other a long time ago), their present becomes conflicted in more than one way, because life is not easy in the Roman Empire, especially when you're at opposite ends of the social scale. Readers beware; this story contains mock battles, emotional battles, and gory battles. It also contains naughty man-on-man foreplay in secluded places and "throw your sandals away" intercourse. All characters portrayed in this book are age 18 or older. For adults only.

Blend the Light by -Werewolf14-

COMPLETED "What the hell is happening to Arrow?" His form is disappearing in shimmering lights. Arrow is the top Gladiator at the Wasteland, which is an inescapable prison surrounded by miles upon miles of scorching sand and blazing sun. The Wasteland holds Wasteland battles where Gladiators fight to the death, then all of those killed are brought back to life to fight once more. Arrow wins every single one, but he's snapping from ten years of fighting. When two new Gladiators arrive at the Wasteland, and they're assigned to Arrow for a tour of the Wasteland, they start a chain of events that put Arrow's biggest secret at risk of being thrown into the open. NOTE: There are fight scenes with blood as Arrow, along with the other Gladiators, participate in the Wasteland battles. There are also other fights that occur during various parts of the story. If you are uncomfortable with this type of content, I might consider finding another book. This is my first Wattpad book, so there might be some errors. If you find yourself disliking parts of the book, I'd be grateful if you found a different book rather than complaining. Though if you have ideas or suggestions, please send them my way! I will be updating every Friday, but life happens, and something unexpected may come up that makes me unable to update. If this occurs, I will either update early on Saturday, or the following Friday depending on how much I have written or if I have access to Wattpad.
