Ancientrome Stories

Long before tales of sleigh bells and snow, a fourteen-year-old boy must leave his home on the sunlit shores of the Mediterranean. Forced to carve out his future in an empire divided by civil war, he boards a ship bound for 4th-century Rome. This journey turns out to be anything but safe-brutal seas, crooked merchants, pirates, politics, and the rise of a new faith will change his life forever... and set him on the path to creating one of the most beloved traditions the world has ever known. A tale of adventure, resilience, and the birth of a legend-this is not the Christmas story you know... but the story of Christmas that youve never heard.

Before time began, two forces shaped everything that would ever exist-Light, the spark of creation, and Darkness, the hunger that devours it. Known through ages as Janus and Orcus, their endless struggle has kept the universe turning. But the balance is cracking. As the ancient cycle falters, creation trembles, destinies shift, and a new age of beginnings-and endings-rises. In a cosmos where nothing is ever won, only traded, one truth remains: When Light stirs, Darkness follows. And when Darkness rises... all must choose what survives.

Rome was the greatest empire of the ancient world, and its history can be found around the world. But its beginning is a tangle of myths and forgotten lives. A god for a father, a wolf for a mother, and a destiny handed to two boys who never asked for it. But myths forget the fear. They forget the danger. They forget the truth. Romulus and Remus enter Alba Longa hunted by kings and watched by gods who see them as tools, not heirs. Their struggle is raw, human, and written in blood long before it becomes history. What really happened? What did the gods take, and what did the brothers have to sacrifice? How close did Rome come to dying before it ever truly lived? This is the story behind the legend.

What the crowd celebrated as a fair kill was nothing more than a staged execution-engineered by a man with enough power to bury the truth for years. Now, five years later, Cassiana is done being silent. Raised in the shadows of Rome's gladiator pits, skilled in combat but unseen by the world above, she's determined to uncover who ordered her father's death-and make them pay. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes her father wasn't the first man silenced... and he won't be the last unless she stops them. But Rome is ruled by two emperors-brothers with a reputation for tyranny. One of them, 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐀, is far more dangerous than the rumors say... because he sees through her lies. Because he recognizes her fire. Because he has secrets of his own, secrets tied to the same corruption she's fighting. Trusting him could get her killed. Wanting him is even more dangerous. But working with him may be the only way to expose the man who ordered her father's murder. And Cassiana Varro has nothing left to lose-only 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 left to claim.

❝If you cannot catch a fish, do not blame the sea.❞ - Greek Proverb Everyday, you woke up and performed the steps necessary to complete your routine. It was monotonous, like clockwork, as you traveled down the tracks laid out for you since birth. With a mind uncontested, you found yourself graduating college before you were legally an adult, and at the behest of your controlling parents, you continued on to medical school, then further on into a surgical residency at a nearby hospital. You had always wanted to help people and this was the best way to do it. So, why, with everything you had ever wanted at your fingertips, were you so unhappy? Maybe that was why when you awoke in the past, surrounded by farmland instead of your blankets that you decided to 'just roll with it' rather than scream. That was your motto now as you were unceremoniously dropped from your assigned path onto untrodden ground with no hope of going back. So, even when you saved the life of a soldier and were carted off into the heart of the corrupt Roman Empire to be the twin emperor's new physician, you barely batted an eye. After all, you would do anything to save your patients.

Rome is at the zenith of its power-and on the brink of its downfall. Emperor Erwin Aurelius rules the world's greatest empire with a clear mind and iron discipline. But in a moment of apparent mercy, he makes a decision that will seal his fate: He chooses a young slave-Levi-from among the prisoners of war as his personal servant. What begins as a mere act of possession quietly transforms into something no language of the empire dares to name. Between cold marble and flickering light, a love grows that is forbidden, dangerous-and inescapable. Levi, who once only wanted to survive, becomes the emperor's mirror-to his weakness and his truth. And as Rome's enemies stand at the gates and treason whispers in the halls, Erwin realizes that the greatest danger lies not in swords, but in what his heart dares to desire. For even the sun of Rome cannot burn forever - and every love that goes against the law demands its price.
