Constantinople has fallen, just as her sister city in the west did almost a millennium before. It was thought that Constantine XI had died with no heir during the final assault of the 'Queen of Cities' with no heir to speak of. This is not true, just a month before the arrival of the Sultan's army, he had a son, when he heard of Mehmet's march, he sent him away with his most trusted friend. Octavius, as he had been named, had been taken to be raised near Athens, he was taught the old ways, given access to records of the conquests of Alexander, Julius, Trajan and all others that could be gathered from the imperial library before their departure. Since he had no official surname, though by tradition he would have his father's name, he was granted that which his namesake before him had taken, Caesar.

Book of Bravery: A Novel 2,000 Plus Years in the Making
From the novel's back cover blurb... 'I'm not of your world, but I had a front-row seat to a little-known drama that nearly brought about your demise. Truth be told, I've actually been wanting to tell you about this saga for some time. It's a short tale, relatively speaking. It does, though, begin before the birth of Christ. There's a man named Quintus at the heart of it. First, he was a Roman Centurion, that is until he ended up in China, where he learned a thing or two from an old Taoist. Fast forward to today, and he still walks among you. You should know what he did through history wasn't done for himself; it was done for you, and it was done in the face of the greatest evil known to mankind.'Complete

Machinarum Magnum Bellum
My darkest novel yet... "The clock ticks, time stops. And then..." This novel takes a deep dive into what the world would have been like if the (now switched) sides of the Great War-Germany, the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria, and Austria-Hungary-had fought the now central powers such as the United States, Great Britain, Imperial Russia, France, Italy, and Japan. As the battles hit hard and heavy, major casualties were reported in mass amounts, disease ran rampant across the trench country, and psychological and biological warfare was implemented. Adieu. UPDATE #01/1/2025: Published new chapters, book is complete yet chapters are to be published periodically. Chapter 4-5 needs revision still.
A SULTANA'S LIFE| MAGNIFICENT CENTURY| ✔️
Rose was just a normal girl living her life with her loving family as any normal person would, that is until the barbarians attack her village and kidnap her and sold her to the Othman's. Sultan Ahmed has just been ascended to the Othman throne just like his ancestors after his father's death. He was very young when he succeeded his father and had no children yet so it was his mother's greatest fear that his younger brother Mustafa will try and succeed him so she tries to make Ahmed have an heir as fast as possible. #1 Ahmed #2 muhteşem #2 yuzil #2 historical #2 magnificent #2 Kosem #3 sultana This idea came to me after watching the famous show "Magnificent Century". The characters don't belong to me excluding Rose who I made up. The plotline will be changed in the future so Rose will get the ending I want her to. Kosem still exists just not like she was in the show.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
