Lucius, the less favored twin brother of Prophet Julian, was forced into marrying the Vampire Crown Prince Dorian under his brother's name as part of a truce and subsequently fell in love with his enigmatic husband. After helping Dorian claim the throne and become the first human Royal Consort of the vampire kingdom Eternia, Lucius thought he finally had found his perfect fairytale happy ending. However, his happy-ever-after only lasted several months. After Lucius's treacherous secret mission was exposed, the Royal Consort fell from grace, lost his husband's love and respect, and was imprisoned in the Northern Tower for a year. Everyone in the court was speculating when King Dorian would divorce Lucius and execute him. And just when Lucius thought things couldn't have gone worse than this, fate mocked him once more. One day, Lucius woke up and found himself branded as a human slave and trapped in the worst situation. Once lost all his privileges, he witnessed the true horror and cruelty of a world in which humans were dominated and used as livestock.

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies
47 parts Complete Mature
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.

They say that keep your friends close, enemies closer. But just how close? Close enough so as to have them carve out your heart, or close enough for them to secure an inevitable place inside it? How much can you trust them, that is, if you can trust them at all. --- An-Ki Naya, the third daughter of the Assyrian dynasty of Kinkha which held a short lived rule on the Persian Empire, gets abducted and brought in as a slave after a complete end to her family line. No one and nothing is left of the once mighty history of Mesopotamia, the sole rubble being her hope which is shattered by the regret of being alive. Persia expresses immense contentment with the end of the mortal enemy and takes the peace as an indicator for a rule of serenity. Only, it isn't quite so. The most treacherous member of the Kinkha blood is still alive, a threat which wasn't taken under consideration since the time she was born. An impending conspiracy dawns with her which includes many participants hidden within the empire under the forged veils of loyalty. The Lord of the Persian state of Bactria is Asmaka Araxa Kayasth, one of the five most prevalent powers which were involved in the victory of Cunaxa.

He takes in a slave, without an idea about what all would come with her. 4th century B.C. Persia is the supreme empire of its time with Arthaxerxes II as its shahanshah.
