Before the rust, before the ruins, there was a dream.
Charles Vareen envisioned a city of light and motion - green boulevards, open squares, and a railway to unite distant coasts. For a brief, dazzling time, he succeeded. But progress carries a cost, and when ambition hardens into industry, beauty turns to soot.

Imperium Reborn
The world ended not with a bang, but with a cough. Decades of pandemics shattered the global order. Governments collapsed beneath the weight of fear and plague. Economies died, nations splintered, and the age of progress gave way to chaos. The United Kingdom was the first to fall - Parliament burned, the monarchy vanished, and city-states rose from the ashes to fight over scraps of a forgotten world. With guns gone and technology fading, humanity returned to the weapons of its ancestors - iron, fire, and blood. Across the ruins of Britain, brutal warlords carved up the land, and tyranny thrived. But in the quiet, broken streets of Southport, one man offered a different vision. Cassian Vale, a historian turned revolutionary, believes civilisation's salvation lies not in rebuilding the old world, but in resurrecting a greater one - the eternal Roman Empire. From the ashes of collapse he forges legions, revives forgotten laws, and marches toward a destiny two thousand years in the making. From the fall of Britain to the conquest of Europe, from the darkened shores of Albion to the gates of Rome itself, Imperium Reborn is an epic saga of collapse and rebirth, rebellion and empire - the story of humanity's return to the eagle's shadow.Complete

As Author my request is "don't treat the book as a #textbook . It is purposefully a story book. " Though I shall be happy if people get interested about the adventurous science or thrilling history. The story is a science fiction and predictive modelling of future of the earth , drafted with a link to the history. Basic idea of the story is to feel that hope always will be there for rising from the ashes whether from natural disaster as the strong positive vibes and war from the peace process. Though to achieve that needs the freedom. #linkintoepi #book #bookstagram #books #booklover #reading #read #bookaddict #bookworm #instabook #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookphotography #reader #booklove #bookaholic #livre #libro #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #author #bookblogger #livrestagram #bookreview #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #bookcommunity #bookrecommendations #bookloversComplete

Bound By His Shadow ( The Vincolo Series - Season 1)
I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him? Oh, they don't walk in the light. Nobody says their names out loud, their DEEDS aren't recorded, but you'll see their HANDIWORK everywhere if you know where to look. It all started that one night. At the time, it seemed like nothing, just another evening. Little did I know, that was the night everything would change. The first time I stumbled into his DOMAIN was purely by accident, I had no clue what I was walking into. But the second time? That was different. I went there on purpose, driven by a job. Nothing personal, just BUSSINESS, or so I thought. Something I could easily leave behind when it was all done. Oh, how naive I was! His world isn't one you can just wander in and out of without a scratch. It's a place built on unspoken agreements, lies that dig deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. Every moment spent there pulls me further into his gravity. I thought I could maintain my distance, but somehow, I found myself getting closer to him,much closer than I ever planned or wanted. Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything. That I was PLAYING the game. But no, not once was I ever the PLAYER. Just a PAWN in this bloody game of BLOOD & THRONE !! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING :- THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.
