17 year-old archaeologist Hercules Asheton thinks he made the biggest mistake of his life when he goes on an expedition to Pompeii with his class. What they were supposed to find were ancient roman artifacts that might reflect the civilization and life of Rome.
Instead, what he did find was a sleeping princess of the city, whom he had apparently awoken.
He can't let her be seen by anyone else. But he can't make her go to sleep either. Her fate is strongly tied with those of the Roman gods. So what would they do?

Five friends. One empire. A destiny written in time. Ethan and his four best friends wake up in a world that isn't their own. One moment, they were living in the modern age of technology; the next, they find themselves trapped in the height of the Roman Empire's conquests. Thrown into battle, Ethan rises from an unknown soldier to the empire's greatest general, using his knowledge of the future to lead Rome to unprecedented glory. But with power comes sacrifice. As war, betrayal, and fate shape his path, Ethan finds himself standing at the throne of history, not just as a ruler, but as a legend. Yet when the chance to return home presents itself, he faces an impossible choice-abandon the empire he built or stay and ensure its eternal legacy. As history is rewritten, one truth remains: empires rise and fall, but legends live forever. Will Ethan return to the life he lost, or will he embrace his destiny as the Eternal Emperor?Complete
RETURN TO INNOCENCE
A unique Romantic Erotica comprising 4 distinctive and offbeat love stories. Narrated by the female protagonist Shilpi. What happens when a man and a woman fall in love with each other? We can safely assume either of 3 possibilities -- (a) they live happily ever after, (b) they fight and split up, (c) they live happily for sometime and then drift apart. But what if the man in the story is 70 years old, and the woman is only 21? In such a case, we can expect only ONE outcome. A doomed relationship. A certain failure. Social norms dictate an "acceptable" age-gap as a necessity for a successful romantic relationship. But who decides what is an "acceptable" age difference? What if a 70 year old man and a 21 year old woman build their own dream world and find it acceptable? This is the story of 2 such individuals who build a dream world together, and then see it get shattered by forces that were beyond their control. This is the story of 2 dreamers, loners and lovers who choose innocence over social norms. This is the story of their return to innocence.Complete
