Born a slave. Freed by secrets. Chosen by grace.
Lydia is seventeen, a slave in ancient Rome and a secret Christian in a world where faith can cost a life. She lives beneath the roof of Senator Titus Julius-the man who owns her and the father she has never been permitted to name.
When an act of violence shatters her world, Lydia is granted her freedom. But freedom comes at a terrible price, and the future she imagined for herself is suddenly beyond reach.
Elsewhere in the city, a dwarf warrior sits in chains, condemned to die in the arena for crimes that can never be undone. Yet his fate, and Lydia's, are bound together in ways neither of them can understand.
In a world where dwarves, orcs, and fae walk beside men and dragons haunt the wild places of the earth, Lydia must choose between the life she has been given, the faith that sustained her, and the destiny now unfolding before her.
Some wounds never heal. Some sins demand justice. And some souls are called to something greater.

When he dies, it feels like a release - an end of eras... it feels like he can rest. But with power comes consequences and in the Space between Time comes Anna Heartfilia. With nothing more than a few words and a fall, Acnologia is thrust backward in time, entrusted with the sacred and ludicrous responsibility to save the world he once terrorized and raise those he once tried to exterminate.

I dive into it.) REWRITE TIME BABYYYYY LET'S GOOOOOO!
