Rome is about to fall. But not in the way you think.
Forget the legions. Carthage's deadliest weapon is Saphanbaal, Hannibal's younger sister - a master of whispers, lies, and unseen control. Operating under a Roman alias, she infiltrates the heart of the Republic, pulling strings in the Senate, twisting public opinion, and turning Roman against Roman.
As the drums of the Second Punic War grow louder, Saphanbaal's shadow network ignites riots, sparks scandals, and weaponizes the very fabric of Roman society. But a young, idealistic Tribune, Marcus Valerius Flaccus, is beginning to connect the dots, unraveling a conspiracy that could shake Rome to its foundations.
The Carthaginian Candidate is a pulse-pounding historical thriller that asks: How far would you go to save your people? And can a society survive when truth itself becomes a weapon?
Uncover the secrets of ancient espionage, where every whispered rumor is a bullet, and every alliance is a potential betrayal.

Where Eagles soar and Shadows dance
Rome, 1st Century AD. The Empire stands mighty, but storm clouds gather on every horizon. Barbarians threaten the borders. Corruption festers within the palace. And Emperor Tiberius, burdened by legacy and power, struggles to hold it all together. Enter Livia - his sister. Sharp-minded, fearless, and unshakably loyal. In a world ruled by men, she becomes Rome's unexpected last hope. When she is named general, Livia must face enemies from outside the Empire - and even more dangerous ones within. Winning her soldiers' trust is only the beginning. Saving Rome may cost her everything. But Livia doesn't flinch. Because if Rome is to fall, it will have to go through her first.

Throne and Thread
🖤 Vritant Vardhan & Adhrita Adani 🖤 He was born in the shadow of the national emblem - a son sculpted by silence, not slogans. She was sent away before legacy could stain her - a daughter raised to heal, not to belong. 🕊️ Vritant wears restraint like armor. Adhrita folds softness into silence. 🕊️ They meet at a wedding neither chose. No past. No plan. Just two names that were never meant to matter to each other - but somehow, they do. 👑 Because history pulls strings. And sometimes, the thread remembers what the throne forgets. 🧵 🖋️ Legacy wrote their last names. ❤️ But it was love that underlined them.

For a Mobster ✔️
Notorious Mobsters Book 1 ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✦ ✦ ✦ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✦ ✦ ✦ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Alessandra "Sessie" Benedetti was never meant to want things, and never allowed to refuse them. As one of the consigliere's docile daughters, her entire future had been stamped since she could tie her own shoelace. Marry Tiziano, the Don's volatile son. Smile at everything. Obey every rule. Die quietly inside. So when she dares to want something for herself, just once, her father makes sure she never forgets the price of defiance. Broken and bleeding from her furnished cage, Alessandra makes a break for it, only to discover life outside the cage is just as deadly. In Chicago, her last name makes her more disposable than desirable. Enter Renzo Santoro. Her family's most dangerous enemy. The last man she should ever be within ten feet of, much less want. She saves his life on instinct, with an identity that doesn't exist. Before she can regret either of those decisions, Renzo is already orbiting her little world. And the girl raised to fear men like him? She's starting to think fear and desire might feel exactly the same. When Renzo finds out who she really is, there is no corner of this earth cold enough to contain what she unlocks in him--the fury that wants a bullet in her, and the fixation that wants her regardless. Now the only thing more dangerous than loving a man like Renzo... is what he'll do to keep her from the men who got to break her before he even knew her. And that... that's when the real war begins. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✦ ✦ ✦ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✦ ✦ ✦ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧Lengkap
