30BC It is the dawn of a new age. Imperator Octavian rules the Roman world, taking control of country upon country, and now the suicide of his enemy, Queen Cleopatra, secures Egypt in his iron fist.
Selene, the only surviving heir of Cleopatra and Antony, is captured and sent to live with her father's first wife and half siblings in Rome.
Among few allies and many enemies, who aren't always quite so obvious, Selene comes to realise how much of a political pawn she is in Octavian's quest for Roman supremacy. Dangers intensify when Selene finds herself falling for the betrothed of her half-sister and bitterest rival, Antonia. Survival will demand her to choose between passion and loyalty, but as a slave of Rome, is it really her choice to make?
'We The Great Are Misthought' is the first book of a trilogy
that will draw you even deeper into the heated lives of history's
most complex characters. The sheer grit of Selene's untold story
will leave you feeling inspired and involved, but most importantly, gripping on to hope.

Elusia Vale is the most fabulous adventurer, swordswoman, thief, and lover to ever grace Ishara, and she is always the first to say so. Her life has been filled with excitement and reckless abandon, but how long can she outrun the tempests she leaves in her wake?

Never ones to pass up the opportunity for trouble, they have made a life out of journeying across the realms, using their skills to help those in need or, in Lulu's case, using stories of their adventures to woo beautiful women. Her quest has seen countless failures, but a new lead, an ancient relic known as the Compass of Nine, promises to reignite her hope. Yet, it is at that very moment when she is drawn into a conflict by her hated cousin, Orianna, a woman called Savior by The Path of Light. The upstart religion has gained a strong foothold within the world of Andavaran, an endlessly painful thorn in Lulu's side. When Orianna asks for her help to stop a sorceress of unfathomable power, Lulu must set aside her hatred to aid both her cousin and a city on the verge of religious civil war, all the while working with The Path, the very people she blames for her father's fate. Together with Idelle, Orianna, and a host of friends, Lulu must face her past and learn, sometimes, the Path you walk isn't always the one you choose.
