The clash of steel, the spray of fresh blood.  Fluted helmets shine, glistening iron flickers, and the screams of the dying mirrors the roar of a crowd hungry for battle and carnage.  Where life hangs on the sadistic glee of a blood-soaked tyrant, and danger stalks the vast palace where he dwells, a damaged and embittered soul ekes out a dismal, grim life.  Freed from captivity and raised up into the echelon of backstabbing Humans as Empress-Consort, Magda the Minotaur wants for nothing and feels for no-one.  But when a gift from her 'husband' is revealed to be a startlingly handsome Gaulish young man, she begins to discover some things truly are worth fighting for.  But how will she react when the very one giving her a new reason to live might just be secretly plotting the deaths of the ones in power over this demented game of gladiatorial blood and intrigue?

Ignis Aurum Probat by kyli5984
10 parts Ongoing Mature
One of Geta's hands reached up to grab her chin. His breath was in her ear as he spoke "Consider your next moves very carefully, Amira." He pulled back slightly, searching her eyes for any sign of disrespect. "You disrespect the gods of which I am a vessel for, their will is mine and I will throw you from these grounds without hesitation if you do not comply." Geta continued, spitting each word at her as if it were poison. Amira's chest heaved as she glared up at him, her defiance burning bright despite the position she found herself in. The solid stone of the wall pressed against her back, while Geta's grip on her waist was unrelenting. His nearness was overwhelming, a mix of heat and fury that filled the narrow space between them. His knee rose higher between her legs and she almost faltered, but her head shook the feeling away before it could take over. "I will not be silenced," she hissed, her voice steady despite the rapid beat of her heart. "Not by you, not by your gods. I shall be protected as I cry out from any evils you or your Empire could possibly do to me." In the opulent halls of Rome's imperial palace, Amira, a sharp-witted princess from Judea, is thrust into a dangerous game of power and politics when she is betrothed to Emperor Geta-a man as cold as he is calculated. Determined to protect her people and secure her place in a court filled with whispers of betrayal, Amira must navigate the razor's edge between loyalty and ambition. Cross-posted on AO3!

He watched as her eyes skimmed over his dark eyes and black hair with barely a reaction. He felt his pride twinge a bit so he went further. Lifting his hands, he let the blood drip from them. Her eyes widened slightly and her chin rose. She looked at his hands then back at him. His dark eyes gleamed in a challenge. "You've not harmed me or mine, faery." She spoke out loud. "Blood does not scare me and neither do you. Keep your dog on its leash." Then she turned and calmly walked back inside. Intrigued now, he went to the window of the house and watched as she reassured her mother that the dog was gone "I'll see you tonight, reckless child." He promised softly. **** Marcus felt himself beginning to wake and struggled to stay in the dream. But it was no use. His eyes opened and he released the pillow his hand was gripping. It was the same one that she had laid her head on every night. His head went into the pillow heavily for a moment, breathing in her faint scent. He hated and treasured dreams like that with equal fervor. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. It had been decades since she'd been forced to break that promise. He lifted his hand and touched the ring that had been her last gift. It had been decades, but it was yesterday. ***I did not skimp on the steamy scenes so consider yourselves warned ok? There are also a few violent scenes that I'll try to remember to put a warning before so you'll have a heads up. Any of the pictures/artwork were found online so I reserve no rights to those just the story. But I do reserve all rights to the story. This story runs concurrently with "Bloody Desire" and "All Roads Lead to Rome" Awesome new book cover is courtesy of @ScarlettOlivier. She's awesome. Check her stuff out.

Fauna Clarice Rheasydia is one of two of the most feared assassins in all of Ker. The Ebony Nightingale. Trained since four, her identity has been kept secret, leaving only rumors of her bloody wake to whisper through the streets. Little do they know that the blood pooling at her feet isn't that of her victims, but instead that of someone she may have never truly known. Lance Arthur Rheasydia, The Sinister Fox. Trained alongside his sister to protect those he cares for, more so now than ever after the death of his soulmate and betrayal of his best friend. He has no path left to follow aside from that of his family, and even that is beginning to narrow. Or is it widening? Darius Zandro Rosendal is sick of playing the picture-perfect Crown Prince of Vandaria. His father sees nothing but a ghost when he's nearby, too busy praying to the Gods and their Saints that his wife's womb carries another boy. Darius's life force runs through the veins of his guard and best friends. He has the family he wants, all the luxury wealth can buy, but still finds something missing. That is until an unexpected visitor gives him hope for the life he's only dreamt of. Can they keep the demons coming from every direction from breaking down the walls? Are they capable of fulfilling their destiny? Or will they fail and damn the world to its crumbling end? This is just the beginning, and hope is running thin. **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 4,000 **Edited (x1) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES!

Silk Skin and Smoke (Age Gap) by GeneralizedBond

BOOK 3 "Dance with me Tallulah." His whisper slithered over my skin, tempting me to comply. I smirked as I brought forth my current, allowing it to course my skin. I put my hand in his expecting him to fall to the ground from my immense shock. He only smiled, clasping his long fingers around my hand, tugging me up from my chair. I gasped as he pulled me in, forcing my body flush with his. I called on my full power, letting my electricity flow through him. Why wasn't he reacting? Anyone else would have been screeching in paralyzed agony. He hummed as I tripled the amount of electricity that would normally kill a man. "I suggest you stop. All that powers making my cock hard." He whispered, letting his blood stained lips graze my ear. ~~~ Tallulah has been in hiding since she was a baby. As the first half demon child to walk the earth, her father, demon rebellion against the vampire royals, wanted to shield her from supernatural backlash. But it was her fate that worried him most. The fate that a certain horrible, emotionless royal would take her as his own. Her father preferred a mortal life for his precious Tallulah than suffer eternity mated to the heartless blood thirsty Augustus Vercelis. Augustus is formally known as Augostino Vercelis, royal throne holder of the undead. Although he is indeed a murderous vampire, he hadn't enjoyed the bloodied kill of his thirst in over 200 years. His curse had him bound to good nature. At least until he finds the mystery creature that holds the ultimate gift of soul-mated love. If he can have her, he is free to lead the life he pleases, with zero constraints. And he is determined to make Tallulah his when he feels her blade deep in his heart. She's a feisty little mouse, but he likes the chase. (Warning: This book has intense mature scenes! Kink shaming comments will be deleted. Augutus has lived almost a thousand years with zero emotional attachment to anyone, his love is an acquired taste and doesn't come naturally.)
