A song from the Nubian is an epic that is -in part-about a fictional middle-age monarchy located on the Nubian desert- a monarchy created by the early Ottoman settlers that dared to spread across Lower Nubia in Africa. The story is also about belief systems, tradition and the reality of the undiluted supernatural. At the center of the story is Senneria- an empire with all the trappings of a Muslim enclave in her golden age. Although politically, Senneria was in her decline, plagued by a aged leadership, growing enemies and a tussle for power, the empire's survival was hinged on the will of one of her princes named Adlan. However, despite the promise he held, Prince Adlan only could play a small part in a greater story- a story about a hunted god he encountered in the form of a man.

(Highest Ranking: #108 in Historical Fiction) Was a featured story on the Ides of March. Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from Night at the Museum. Also admittedly some of the stuff that is written is a little problematic. I retain full responsibility of the problematic writing and I apologize if it causes hurt or seems insensitive, it was not my intention at the time of writing merely a reflection of the bad influences from the books I had been reading as a young teen. I am trying very hard to make this book more politically correct in my other drafts as do I do not want other people to normalize toxic, homophobic and sexist tropes/ideologies and beliefs through their reading.

Echoes of Ithaca
"You must behave," her brother warned, "or you'll ruin everything." Dragged to Ithaca by her cruel brother Antinous, Y/N is forced to live among the suitors vying for Queen Penelope's hand. Unseen, unheard, and constantly hurt, she survives in silence-until a quiet act of kindness begins to unravel the chains around her heart.

With the guidance of Penelope and the silent watch of Athena, Y/N finds strength. Yet bruises still bloom, and secrets still fester in the corners of the palace. But when a single moment of violence shatters the lies holding everything together, love and fury ignite in equal measure. And as Telemachus sets out across the sea to find his father, Y/N is left to protect the queen-and herself-from the growing threat within. When Odysseus finally returns, blood will be spilled, truths revealed, and a new kind of family will rise from the ashes of betrayal.

Tides Of Ithaca
An Epic Love Between a Demigod and a Prince, Forged by Fate and Saltwater When Y/N Jackson-Percy Jackson's younger, storm-stubborn sister-is caught in a mysterious tempest on her solo quest, she wakes up not in Camp Half-Blood... but in a palace by the sea. Specifically: the royal palace of Ithaca. Telemachus, newly crowned prince and veteran of wars no boy should've had to fight, finds her unconscious on the shore and carries her to safety. He expects a castaway. He doesn't expect a girl who spars like a soldier, argues like a queen, and looks at him like she sees right through the armor. Y/N falls first-but Telemachus falls harder. With Percy crashing in to "rescue" her (and totally losing a sword duel to the prince), Poseidon hurling disapproval like thunderbolts, and Odysseus giving the worst father-in-law advice in history, Y/N finds herself tangled in a love story as wild and dangerous as the sea. There are stolen kisses in moonlit corridors. Jealous gods. Touch-starved tension. Teasing brothers. And a wedding that will make Olympus itself shake. But the biggest twist? Sometimes the real adventure begins after the "happily ever after." ⸻ A romantic mythological fantasy filled with slow-burn tension, laugh-out-loud banter, and a surprise ending you won't see coming-Tides of Ithaca is perfect for fans of EPIC: The Musical and Percy Jackson who want their mythos with a splash of swoon.Complete
