blood empire fantasy fiction history julius kaeso murder praetorian roman tiberius

As the Roman Empire descends into chaos and horrible emperors, the Praetorian guards use their power to rule the empire indirectly; by controlling the emperors like puppets on a string.

What were once created to protect, are now the bane to their existence. 

The punishment to defying the guards is not only death, but death in the worst form.

Torture.

In love with this power-hungry craze, many young Roman citizens decide to choose this as their path of life. 

However, the Praetorians are only chosen by birthright.

Nevertheless, Julius Tiberius Kaeso will do anything to become the Head Praetorian. 

Anything.

But there is another who matches his ambitions. 

Octavius Brutus Cato. As wise as Minevra, as lethal as Mars. 

A mysterious Roman with godlike powers is the only rival Julius has to the position of Head Guard.

Broken friendships, broken hearts, and broken bones. 

Welcome to a tale of ambition, treachery, and maybe even love...

In a situation where you just can not afford to loose.

Because this time your broken dream, equals your death.

Are any of the sacrifices worth the pain of becoming Praetorian?All Rights Reserved

WARHAVEN by opheliaboe

His irises swirled slowly, an enticing pale silver against his stark black lashes. They illuminated slightly, so quick it was gone in a blink. He broke our eye contact, lifting his head straight. A darkly amused expression appeared. It happened so quickly it seemed like a mask appeared. I blinked myself out of my trance, and turned on my heel to see what was at the receiving end of his humor. Augustus stood there. His face contorted into anger as he took in my ruined dress. His hands shook in his fury. "Roman." Augustus nearly snarled the name. "Have you come to join us, little King? The party was just getting started." So his name was Roman, some big secret. I rolled my eyes at the reveal as well as his taunting sentence. "Davina, what is going on here?" Augustus asked, his eyes full of betrayal. I had never seen him so guarded. I could feel his anger through my bones. His words were careful. What was he talking about? My brows furrowed at the insinuation, "What?" A line of smoke floated around my right shoulder and come between Augustus and I. How convenient. I had the desire to swipe it away but didn't. "What can I say, she...seduced me." Roman purred. His voice was a sensual whisper in my left ear. I subconsciously lifted my shoulder and backed away from it. Not only because he had lost his fucking mind, but also because it shot down my spine, caressing my skin. ** This book contains mature content.

For the next 31 days, you will read about the life of a man who desired to start over after a terrifying event in his childhood. Julius Corvus wished to connect with his old friends.

Rebirth of the Omnipotent Heir by lightning_strike111

Aiden's life was once one of power, ambition, and betrayal. Born as the heir to a vast empire, he had it all-until his father, the ruthless Emperor, cast him aside, ordering his death to solidify his own reign. But death is not the end for Aiden. Reborn into a world of innocence, he finds himself as a helpless infant once again, with the echoes of his past life still haunting his soul. In the arms of his mother, Lyria, who had long suffered from the Emperor's cruelty, Aiden awakens to a world where nothing is as it seems. With memories of his previous life and a thirst for vengeance, he grows stronger every day, uncovering the depths of his power and the mysteries surrounding his rebirth. As his bond with his mother, grandmother, and other powerful women in his life deepens, Aiden realizes that his destiny is far greater than he ever imagined. With each passing day, his strength evolves, allowing him to travel between realms, conquer gods, and steal the hearts of legendary women from other worlds-like Mito Uzumaki, Tsunade, and even goddesses from distant realms. But Aiden is not just after power-he is driven by revenge. The father who abandoned him, who sentenced him to death, will feel his wrath. With the ability to create and destroy entire universes, Aiden's path to godhood is unstoppable. He will tear apart the omniverse itself if that's what it takes to exact his revenge and claim what is rightfully his. In a world where betrayal runs deep and alliances mean nothing, Aiden will rise, shattering the very fabric of existence as he seeks to become the most powerful being in all realms-an omnipotent ruler of time, space, and love. Will he find redemption in the love of the women who surround him? Or will the darkness of his past consume him, leaving nothing but ashes in his wake?

The Risen Empire by theonlyjw

In the heart of ancient Rome, where power is seized with blood and betrayal lurks in every shadow, the mighty Valerius dynasty falls to ruin. The once-great ruler and his family are brutally slaughtered in a coup led by treacherous conspirators-except for one. Lucius Valerius, the sole heir, barely escapes the carnage, left for dead in the untamed wilderness beyond the city's walls. With nothing but his wits and an unyielding thirst for vengeance, Lucius is forced to fight, adapt, and survive in the brutal underworld of Rome. From the lawless slums to the gladiator pits, from war-torn battlefields to the grand halls of treachery, he gathers allies-outcasts, rebels, and warriors who, like him, have nothing left to lose. As the empire rots under the rule of corrupt tyrants, whispers of a fallen prince rising from the shadows begin to spread. Rome will tremble when Lucius returns-not as a desperate survivor, but as a force of reckoning. The throne was stolen. The empire corrupted. But the blood of emperors still flows in his veins. And he will stop at nothing to reclaim what is rightfully his.

The Slave's Gladiator (OH) by Silverdawn_

When death is everywhere, what will you do to survive? All Hadriana remembers is slavery. Her home burned to the ground, she now works the fields of the estate, keeping a low profile to survive. That is, until she attaches the attention of a famous gladiator. Kind, confident, and wanting her, he whispers promises of a different life, a life free from the Roman's hands. That is until his skeletons, more dangerous and more violent then Rome itself, show their faces wanting revenge. Learning to survive is hard, learning to move on is even harder. However, unless Hadriana wants to find herself buried six feet under, she's needs to learn how to do both before his skeletons drag them both under ground forever. Lovely cover done by @final_girl13
