Dive into an ancient historical mystery involving the Magi! 

In the shadow of ancient Greece, Thalia flees her past as a coerced Delphi priestess, seeking refuge in Lydia with her enigmatic protector, Kratos. But who is Kratos really? Rumoured to be a double agent, his true motives remain shrouded in mystery.

Their evolving relationship intertwines with the rise of Cyrus of Persia, espionage, and a quest to unmask a hidden magus cabal mastermind bent on assassination. As secrets unravel, Thalia grapples with echoes from her time as an oracle-a haunting connection that leads her to Delphi itself. Amid gothic overtones and a labyrinth of mysteries, she confronts the truth about her own identity.

I'm a classical archaeologist. This novel is plot- and character-based with well-developed characters and arcs, combining enigmatic mystery, espionage, and romance against a rich historical background. It has an intricate plot for which I've made much effort toward creating a captivating mystery. I am committed to historical accuracy and to weaving real events seamlessly into the narrative.

Mistress of Beasts by NekyiaKat

COMPLETE - Threa is a descendant of a long line of Sorceresses, currently living in hiding, confined to their mountains. In order to expiate a crime she committed she was sent undercover to work for a renowned scholar of the Academy's Division of Tradition and Heritage, the esteemed Kasos Belras. Notorious for its dismissive attitude towards women, the Academy is one of the most hostile environments for Threa. But after the discovery of a mystical artefact stuns the academic community, it is up to Threa and her newly appointed guardians to find the others like it before they fall into the hands of the Six Sorcerers who rule the planet. If they do, then all Sorceress Houses will be annihilated. This story is a reverse-harem, high fantasy novel heavily inspired by Ancient Greek mythology and religion. The themes and characters of Greek myth are changed here to meet the demands of this original story. I have also drawn from other myths, primarily those featuring vampires, and dragons, among others. Book 1 deals more so with these motifs, while Book 2 features other mythical beings like satyrs and centaurs.

Set Me As A Seal ✓ by outbriefcandle54

A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------

"I don't care, go get your own" I say pointing my fork at him. "If I can't get a piece, you won't have any." I look at him with wide eyes when he says this. I instantly get up, "Wait a minute. This is something we can discuss." It's pointless since he's chasing me around the couch. I leaped on the couch, causing him to jump on the opposite side. "It's mine, Ha-Alessandro.

Rise of Fire: Dragons Reborn [COMPLETED] by RosaleeRain

The world had long since forgotten the age of dragons, those creatures that had once ruled the skies as gods had long since disappeared after the conclusion of the Great Demon Wars. Dragons became nothing more than a fading legend, a story to tell children at bedtime. But the gods could not let the dragons die, for they were the last defense against the demon armies and the dark god Vekkar. Talia had been born and raised in a world of darkness acting as an agent of Hephatus, goddess of assassins and death. She knew only a life of killing, sometimes for justice, sometimes for honor, always for money. Her morals were opaque at best. But when she's deployed to the city of Arboros she finds herself thrust into a world of political games, opposing powers, and constant threat. Nowhere was safe even for her. Her goals became muddied, and then lost altogether when she meets the Dwarven Prince. Bromyr had spent the last five years of his life chasing ghosts, desperate to find the lost dragon eggs. His people thought him crazy, his father stripped him of his titles, but he never gave up. Eventually his effort bore fruit and he hastily made way to return to his homeland only to get caught up in the city of Arboros. It was there that he met an intriguing half-giant, a woman who ignited a fire everywhere she went. In the end she was the one who inadvertently brought about the new age of dragons. What could go wrong when an ill tempered assassin becomes the first dragon rider of a new age? ***Cover made by annie1loves1you***
