A year has passed since Tom met resistance fighters against the military dictatorship in Greece, was interrogated and threatened by the secret police, made new friends and made a promise to Sophia. 

Hardly does he land in Athens again in July 1970 when he and his friends receive their first courier assignment for the resistance group, which takes him to Crete and entails many unpleasant surprises. Their assignments become more and more dangerous, which welds the group ever tighter around Tom, Nikos, and Sophia. 

In northern Greece, Tom and Nikos are ambushed by Albanian agents, and on the concentration camp island of Leros they are again targeted by the secret police. Tom soon realizes that things are often not what they seem. At the same time he realizes that he is in a dilemma: he loves Sophia, but he also loves Nikos. Will he have to make a decision? 

In the second book of "The Right People" series, the action picks up pace. Adventure and danger lurk around every corner, but Tom and his friends take on the challenge, now joined by Dave the Englishman, four Australian students and two pairs of German siblings.

Echoes of Olympus by kyenna63

Awakening on Olympus with fragmented memories and whispers of a prophecy, she finds herself thrust into a world of gods, power, and ancient grudges. As she navigates fragile alliances and growing bonds with those who hold divine power, Aurelia uncovers pieces of her forgotten identity-along with the devastating role she is destined to play in the war against a formidable enemy. With secrets lurking in every shadow and betrayal closer than she ever imagined, Aurelia must decide who she can trust, and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect the ones she loves. But time is running out, and the gods' enemies have plans that will shake the heavens and earth alike. In a battle where even the gods are vulnerable, one question remains: will Aurelia rise, or will her fate be her undoing? {This story and its plot, along with all fictional characters, are original creations and belong to me.

Powerful by Faith4546

"In our History. The men have always been dominating the women. We have always been made weak and inferior. Always looked down. As if we created all the issues in the world. When in reality it was them. I'm so tired of our gender being their definition of weak. When in reality we are not equals. We are superior." Something registered in Alexis. Like everything Athena was saying was making sense. "Percy Jackson. Ask her the question you two were asked so long ago when you were saving your Satyr friend." Somehow I knew exactly what question she was referring to. I was still registering what was being said. I looked to Alexis. "Would you turn on Olympus?" She hesitated for a moment. Her eyes never left Athena's. "I'd burn it all down to the ground without hesitation." **** **** ***** I had a Quest. Save Percy Jackson. He can't leave the Underworld without my help. I had to go alone. To save Percy I knew what I had to do. I had to die.

[TO BE EDITED] Book #1 (Princess of Greece) "I have offer for you." I start. "Hmm interesting." He walks towards me and takes cigar pack from nightstand, pulls out one with lips and lights it. "What kind of offer darling?" "Sex offer." He starts coughing. "Excuse me."Covering mouth he takes cigar with middle and index fingers. Pure shock is written on his face. "Let's have sex, just sex. Both of us will be satisfied." I take cigarette from his hand and then put in my mouth. "What do you say? No sleeping together, no commitment, just pure orgasm." "You want to have sex with me." He assures himself. "Don't act like you don't want to rip my clothes off right now, you know you want me." It's my turn to be fucking smug asshole. "Oh yeah?" His eyes slightly squint.

"Well then, we'll just have meaningless pleasurable sex." I explain once again. "But still keep pretending that you don't like me." "I do not like you." "Then how will it work?" "I don't need to like you to scream your name, do I?" _____________________________________________

✓ | The Crown of the Dead by hearts4loverr

Almost thirty years have passed since the second Titan War. At least, that's what everyone keeps telling Bianca. She doesn't quite understand what the second Titan War is- or was, for that matter- or why it's important. Bianca doesn't understand a lot of things. For example: why she is just now realizing that her parents were demigods- children of the Greek gods themselves- and she's what people at camp call a "legacy." She also doesn't understand why her Aunt Piper practically tossed her into a car with two men she's never met and shipped her off to this aforementioned camp. A magic camp for descendants of the gods. Camp Half Blood. Bianca doesn't understand why everyone at Camp Half Blood seems to whisper under their breaths whenever she passes by. She doesn't understand the class system or the sub divisions of legacies, or how magic works, or how to fight monsters. She doesn't understand why all of these people who were painted as best friends have grown so distant. But the biggest thing she doesn't understand? Definitely her existence. Kids who aren't biologically related to their parents shouldn't be getting claimed by both their godly grandparents. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Greek Tragedies series: 1/4 The world and a lot of the adult characters belong to Rick Riordan, don't sue me please~

Queen of Cards (English version) by LizAtana

We were a whole group of friends. And yet, I was feeling so lonely. It was hard to trust the others knowing that one of the players of this deadly game of cards would do anything to kill us... With all the revelations, treasons, and breath-taking clever strategies, would I be up to the task? Warning: this fiction is a thriller, but still contains two/three scenes that may be offensive to young audience. No worries, I will add a warning just before each passage involved. Inspirations: I was highly inspired by the French game The Werewolves of Millers Hollow, itself based on the game Mafia. I also had the idea for this novel while listening to the song "Lily" by Alan Walker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTJbE3sfvlI). To finish, my friends can feel some Danganronpa and La Casa de Papel vibes in the story. I therefore invite all these two series' lovers to read it! Big thanks to Théo and Lilith676 for this amazing cover *-*
