Until one day there was a threat to her life. She had three months to live. Tessa was doomed, she had tried everything and she knew she couldn't get out of her impending death.

Aquila: An Oversimplified History of Ancient Rome by NeilCapua

Not every info about Rome will be included in this book but I will try my best to jot down as many information as possible in an oversimplified manner. --Completed--

Into The Woods by Juniper-Anne

This is a human x naga romance novel, so its not for everyone. There are inhuman aspects to the body of one of the characters (obviously) but they fall in love and get sexy anyway. You've been warned. Nash is retired. After seven years of fighting in a war on behalf of an empire that wasn't his home, he was granted citizenship and retirement. He can live in style the rest of his days... but Nash isn't interested in living in style. Instead, he claims a secluded cabin that was built in an ancient, unsettled forest. He wants to start fresh, and forget the things he did during the war. But the townsfolk in the nearby village are whispering about monsters in the woods. They warn him that he'll die if he stays out there. And there is something out there. Something big. But Chass, the monster, is the one who is in for a surprise. Nash's people don't believe in monsters. They believe in gods. What will this monster do when the human he's decided to kill worships him? It's frustrating, and totally not what he planned! Why is the warrior making little wooden shrines to him? Why does the human bow and say he's alright with Chass taking his life? This annoying human who is a competent warrior, a strong and independent man with soft hair and soft skin, who says Chass can do whatever he wants...wait... wait.... this just might work out. TW: sexual content, explicit content and language, violence, fantasy death, hunting animals/prey Kinks: praise kink (literally, Chass really likes that Nash thinks he's a god), size difference, monster dick, a little interesting bondage and immobilization, lots of "say I'm your prince" and "you're mine" and possessive behavior, yay!

To Take on Rome by ryand1966

Can a Believer survive the persecutions of Rome? Centurion Quintus Maximus Varo, a soldier in the army of Rome, fights to understand how his new-found faith can mesh with the heathenistic and demanding environment of life in the Imperial Army. Meanwhile, Simon Peter, an orphan taken in by his Uncle, attempts to decide of revenge is ever a motive to pursue a questionable and dangerous quest. Set between 33 and 94AD, To Take on Rome follows the lives and adventures of these two men, polar opposites, from the destruction of Jerusalem by the armies of Titus, to John's exile on the island of Patmos, as they meet and interact with Jesus' disciples and followers in locations throughout the known world. Wrestling with questions of family, faith, morality and forgiveness, these characters attempt to reconcile the same internal and external struggles subjugating our flesh to the guidance of the Spirit, that we even today as Believers must ponder, face and conquer.

The Slave's Gladiator 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 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
