In ancient Greece and across the Mediterranean, kingdoms strive for dominance. The great powers of Carthage and Egypt look on with avarice as the might of the Greeks is spent warring between themselves, oblivious to external dangers. Year in and year out, the people suffer at the hands of their rulers and the famine and pestilence that comes with conflict. The great rulers of the day are themselves helpless to end this cycle of destruction. While life on the battlefield is cheap, the slave trade flourishes through the years of interminable battle and death.

The Olympia — Est. Always On West 81st Street in Manhattan, between a dry cleaner called Frank’s and a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Sure, there is a hotel that finds you when you need it. A place where guests arrive one way and leave another. The Olympia doesn’t announce itself with marble lobbies or doormen in epaulettes. It announces itself with fresh flowers, a peacock named Argos, and the smell of something baking that makes people go quiet at the table. Its owner runs it with the quiet authority of someone who has been doing this for a very long time. Its concierge knows ...

Born to a life of political conflict, Perturabo was always considered a child prodigy among the people of Olympia - indeed, his philosophical and scientific works were beyond compare.

What if the patterns that shape your life have been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years? God Favors the Fool reveals the remarkable consistency between the Tarot’s archetypes and the recurring structures found across psychology, mythology, spirituality, human physiology, and even cosmology. Rather than treating the Tarot as prediction or mysticism, Elena Olympia Collins shows it as one ...

Dragged from her bed at gunpoint, tattooed and tracked like livestock, she becomes just another number: Volunteer 4711. Shipped across the stars with hundreds of other human women, she's thrown into a cruel existence on an alien farm where survival means silence, submission, and sacrificing what little dignity remains. When fate places a high-ranking alien male's life in her hands, she saves him, not knowing this single act will pull her into the complex power structures of galactic politics.

Beneath the gaze of the gods, the mighty armies of Greece and Troy met in fierce and glorious combat, scrupulously following the text set forth in Homer's timeless narrative. But that was before 21st-century scholar Thomas Hockenberry stirred the bloody brew, causing an enraged Achilles to join forces with his archenemy, Hector, and turn his murderous wrath on Zeus and the entire pantheon of divine manipulators; before the swift and terrible mechanical creatures that catered for centuries to the pitiful idle remnants of Earth's human race began massing in the millions, to exterminate rather than serve.

Prophecy is not just prediction. It is an invitation. Truth Lies in Twilight: The Prophecy isn't just about predicting the future - it's about understanding how we shape it. In this groundbreaking book, author Elena Olympia Collins explores the hidden patterns of prophecy, dreams, and intuition, unravelling the illusion that destiny is controlled by outside forces. Elena's investigation of prophecy began in the 1980s, when she encountered a prediction that seemed distant - until time began to prove its accuracy. Decades later, as global events align eerily with its message, she dives deep ...

I saw the bright lights of the UFO and then it took me. I was kept in a cage, then I sold. My story is like many other humans adrift in the galaxy. If only people on Earth knew…But it’s too terrible, no one would believe us. When the Imperials descend from the stars, they don’t come to conquer—they come to collect. In this emotionally charged series, humans find themselves entangled with an advanced alien empire and kept as “pets” by grey-skinned humanoids that both adore and exploit them.

I was abducted by the alien puppy pound. Thrown into a cage and sold as a galactic pet. An alien captain has made me his beloved pet. Things have happened that I can’t live with. Things too terrible to mention here.

Tarot card reading is commonly believed to be a form of divination, in which the psychic abilities of the tarot card reader are fundamental to interpreting any form of spiritual messaging. Tarot Well Done offers an entirely different perspective and explains how the Rider-Waite tarot deck, as illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith in the early 20th century, provides a framework which is far more sophisticated and consistent than most people (or tarot card readers) realize.

An indentured human woman. An Imperial man on a mission. A fake marriage born in the stars. When my master died, I believed I’d be set free.

Half-human and half-Imperial, he travels the galaxy, rescuing humans.
