Dead Boy’s Game and The Broken Vow is the first book of Magical Rome Universe. Late at night in Magical Rome, an elderly druid plunges two baby boys into a cauldron bubbling with a mysterious potion. One boy is alive; the other, dead. Instantly, a spectacular magic begins inside the cauldron — life diffuses from the living boy to the dead. Thirty-seven years pass … and the two boys, oblivious of their magical past, grow up believing that their beloved Rome will outlive time itself. But when the ancient powers commanding their bygone adventure come calling, carnage rains upon the great city. And our heroes’ lives intertwine once again. Will the two men defend the city of their birth or hurl Rome into a never-ending abyss? Thirty-seven years after a feat of impossible magic, a deadly game begins in Magical Rome.

Destiny is a journey, not a finish-line. A warrior designs his destiny with each step along his path. I have fought pirates on the choppy waters of the Mediterranean Sea. I have wept beside the statue of Alexander, in Hispania. I have risen from defeat at the hands of Pompey, who was once my friend. On the muddy banks of the Rubicon, I have made a difficult decision for a unique problem—just like you might be facing today. But guess what? You don’t need a herculean physique to fight the battles of life. And you don’t need a famous father or mountains of sestertii. Just like I didn’t need them in ancient times to blaze a trail for Roman emperors, you don’t need them, even today. All you need is grit—never letting self-doubt crush your spirit, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Journey with me as we battle foes on land, on sea—and in life, at times victorious, at others crying in frustration, but always gaining clarity about our destiny, and striving towards it. Along this road, feel free to pick up skills that made me who I am. Caesar: Escapades in Rome is not a book about Roman history; instead, it is a chronicle of my non-stop adventures through Ancient Rome.

Marriage—it's all about love and understanding and being with each other for the rest of your days. For Elise, it means something entirely different. Thrown into a marriage on her father's orders, Elise isn't prepared to be married to the man known as Luca Pasquino. Luca is the next capo in line to take over his father's empire with an iron fist. He's cruel, he's evil, and he's ready to destroy anything and anyone that gets in the way of his plans for complete control. Elise has no idea what is in store for her. All she knows is that she can try to survive her life for the rest of her days with Luca. Update from author: I'm listening! In my zeal to tell my story, I relied on the expertise of others to ensure it went from my head to the printed page, which didn't go exactly as planned. Deadly Vows has now been re-edited to ensure the grammar and punctuation are now as they should be. Enjoy!

"“We’re going to own you.” “We’re going to break you.” “When we’re through with you, you won’t remember life before you were ours.” That’s what they whisper as I pass their cells. Ha. Guess what bastardos? I’m Rosalie Oscura, champion underground cage-fighter and freaking Alpha Werewolf from the infamous Oscura Clan. My family wrote the book on criminal organisations and I’ll be ruling this place by the time the next moon rises. Papà always said my hot head would land me in here one day. The supernatural prison they call Darkmore Penitentiary. Where they send the cruellest, most dangerous Fae in Solaria. Like me apparently. So maybe I deserve to be in prison, but do you want to know a secret? I planned to get sent to Darkmore Penitentiary. I’ve come to break out the most notorious criminal in Solaria. The trouble is, I need the help of the four Alpha males to get out of here. And they happen to hate each other almost as much as they hate me. But I always did love a challenge. How hard could it be to make them accept me as their leader?" -- Back cover.

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
