Imagine a world where Christianity never came into being. Where the gods of Rome have survived into the present day.

Tensions are rising between China and the nation of Nova Roma. A cult of Isis-worshippers known as the Sons of Horus has protested Roman activity in the Middle East. The Senate has recently decided to lift the ban regarding Kee Kanuntee's theory of evolution, all while the Emperor continues to push piety as the greatest of all virtues.

"One Nation, Under Jupiter" is the story of Diagoras Cinna, a journalist out to explore the impact religion has had on modern society. Diagoras travels around the city of New Antioch, interviewing the city's most pious residents, from priests to political figures to ordinary citizens. As he continues his report, Diagoras risks more and more in his quest to attack the gods. His employers question the wisdom of printing anything that would draw the Emperor's ire. His slave Servius, himself a faithful believer, begins to question his loyalty to his master. Even Diagoras' own mental condition worsens, as he suffers the consequences of living as an atheist in a world where blasphemy is a criminal offense.All Rights Reserved

Obsidian by HeatherHolliday5

The world has ended and only the unlucky have survived. In the century since the Accident, Grayson Reid has spent his immortal life in servitude. Bound to Cardinal, an underground realm ruled by tyranny, he has blindly abided by Cardinal orders, unfazed by their cruelty or his own lost memories. Follow the rules and you live; disobey and you will suffer a fate far worse than death. That is until, one day, he wakes up to the memory of a woman on the run. Everywhere he goes, everywhere he turns there she is, in his mind's eye, beckoning to him. It is not long before Grayson too finds himself on the run, risking it all to finally take back what it is he lost all those years ago when the world was brought to its knees. After all, when you've hit rock bottom, how much more do you really have to lose? There is only one thing Mazikeen hates more than Cardinals - Vultures. Primitive, hideous, and cannibalistic, they are a plague upon Obsidian. She should know, she spent most of her life hunting them. Then, when her father died at the claws of a Vulture, she resigned and joined the peaceful Owls. Just when Mazikeen was getting comfortable and thought the fight was over, she discovers a way to destroy the Vultures once and for all. Mazikeen knows that she must pick up her blades one last time to bring peace to Obsidian, even if it means teaming up with an arrogant Cardinal soldier.

A trilogy of Romance, sexy fun times, chaos and a bit of humour splashed in with extra tension to spice up the dry romance between our favourite couple...

But anything mental health-related gets treated with respect. )

The Prophecy of tomorrow by Blobfisch49

Far away from here there exists a different world with the same history of violence, Gods controlled the world. But in this story all this lies in the past, the gods died, the only thing remaining of them, is their magic in the land where they ruled. Trough the Gods 12 nations began, each with his own history and culture, but sadly the moment the 13. God was born, in this world chaos began to spread and the Gods died out. Now the residents of the planet had to life on their own, but they didn't know what to do so many of them started wars. But that lays way in the passed, the world is still in chaos, don't get me wrong, but in a other way. This time the people were the reason, not the Gods. This is on a break, yes it is soon, but I am working on a book to publish. It is in my nativ Language so gramma mistakes and all that isn't really there. I hope you can still wait for me.

Mystic Goddesses by sammy_wonder

Jolene and Jupiter were born into a family of Demi-Gods. The girls are very special because when twins are born they acquire powers of a God or Goddess at the age of 21. They will develop these powers one at a time. The family tree stretches back until the beginning of time. When a God had a baby with a human. Back then this was the biggest sin you could ever do as a God. In punishment the blood line to follow this union would be cursed and in 1000 years twins will be born to defeat the curse and stop all the people against them. That's is where Jolene and Jupiter come in. They are the only two who can stop the Evil that is coming. The book is about their life as kids leading up until now. There will be heart break, romance and adventure. Please don't steal my idea and this is the first book I have written so don't be too harsh Revising but it is pretty hard to read my own writing so be patient. I'll try to make it better. :)
