ALPHA OF ALPHA'S (XERXES)

"Betrayal is a sin, flower," He murmured near my ears, his arctic orbs whisking the warmth of my flesh against his. A course of harrowing singeing fire drifted down my body from the swell of my breasts to my heated core. My nerves screaming with torturous touch of his skin against mine, I couldn’t think for he had me confine in his arms. Brutally, he swept his tongue under the rim of my ear whilst my breath hitched and my tears become uncontrollable. The blood seeped through the cut I gifted him with as he inflated every bit of my scent I had to offer. His filthy tongue leapt across my lower lip with hellish slowness. The bond tempted me to submit to him. "I do not yearn to hear your cries, Katarina. Worship me with your moans." He commanded and I closed my eyes tightly not wishing to swim in those ocean pools of his. Their intimidating tone of his made me want to submit fully to him, to hand over the reins of my soul in his fists. Tears streamed down my face. "F-Forgive me, Xerxes." I stammer softly unable to face his wrath for I knew he was just playing with me, toying with my emotions before he punish me for deeds I've done. Xerxes cruelly grasped my wrists whilst locking them above my head so he could fully discern my naked flesh. "Forgive you?" He mocked, his eyes holding mine into a captivating grip as he licked his lips. "You let another male touch what belonged to me, tell me, flower, why must you test me like this.” I gulped unable to meet his gaze. He chuckled dryly. “Spread your legs, Katarina. The nectar I’m craving is between your legs.”

When Persephone Stopped Waiting

When Persephone Stopped Waiting

My husband Hades gave another woman my birthday celebration. Then he gave her my mother’s brooch. Then he let our son call her home. Nympha was the flower spirit who had grown up beside him. The healers said a curse was killing her, and she had only six months left before she disappeared forever. Hades said he only wanted her final days to be free of regret. So I was expected to be generous. Even when our five-year-old son, Eren, curled up beside her at the hearth and whispered that she felt more like home than I did, I still told myself he was only a child. Then one night, I heard him say to Hades, “Nympha is so gentle. So beautiful. I wish Mother could be more like her.” Hades only smiled. “Your mother is strict because she wants what is best for you,” he said. “But if you like Nympha so much, I can let her stand beside you at the family altar. She can bless you like a second mother.” That was when I finally understood. My husband had already given her my place. And my son had accepted her there. So the next morning, I placed a marriage dissolution agreement before Hades. He signed it without reading, because Nympha had collapsed again and he was desperate to reach her.By the time he realized what he had signed, I was already gone. If they wanted Nympha to be the lady of the Underworld, I would grant them their wish. But why, after I left, did Hades tear the Underworld apart looking for me? Why did my son cry himself sick, begging for the mother he once pushed away? And why did the dying woman they protected so carefully suddenly stop looking so fragile?

How does Pergamum compare to other historical novels?

3 Answers2025-12-01 02:04:12
Pergamum stands out in the crowded field of historical fiction because it doesn’t just recreate the past—it immerses you in the emotional heartbeat of its era. While books like 'The Pillars of the Earth' focus on architectural grandeur or 'Wolf Hall' on political machinations, Pergamum weaves personal stories into its historical tapestry with a rare intimacy. The protagonist’s struggles feel immediate, almost modern, yet the meticulous research (like the descriptions of ancient libraries or the scent of parchment) grounds everything in authenticity. I often found myself pausing to look up real events referenced in the book, which blurred the line between fiction and history in the best way.

What really sets it apart, though, is its pacing. Many historical novels either drown in exposition or sprint through plot points, but Pergamum balances both. The side characters—especially the female scholars—aren’t just window dressing; they challenge the protagonist’s worldview in ways that mirror contemporary debates about knowledge and power. It’s the kind of book that lingers, making you wish for a sequel set in the same universe.

What is the main plot of Pergamum?

Pergamum is this wild, atmospheric fantasy novel that feels like a cross between 'The Name of the Wind' and 'The Lies of Locke Lamora.' The story follows a disgraced scholar named Elian, who stumbles upon an ancient, cursed library buried beneath the ruins of a fallen empire. The twist? The books aren’t just texts—they’re alive, whispering secrets and driving readers mad. Elian gets dragged into a conspiracy involving a secret society that wants to weaponize the library’s knowledge, while a rogue librarian (yes, that’s a thing here) tries to burn it all down to save humanity.

What hooked me wasn’t just the plot, though—it’s how the author plays with themes of obsession. Elian’s desperation to redeem himself mirrors the way the books addict their readers, and the pacing feels like a slow descent into delirium. There’s also this subplot about a forgotten god stitched into the pages, which gives the whole thing a cosmic horror vibe. If you love stories where knowledge comes at a price, this one’s a gem.

Are there any reviews for the novel Pergamum?

I stumbled upon 'Pergamum' while browsing for historical fiction last month, and it immediately caught my attention because of its rare setting—ancient Anatolia. The reviews I found were mixed but fascinating. Some readers praised its meticulous research, especially how it brought the library of Pergamum to life, with scrolls and scholars debating under flickering oil lamps. Others felt the pacing dragged in the middle, though they admitted the political intrigue between Roman and Greek factions was worth sticking around for.

Personally, I loved the protagonist’s journey from a scribe to a reluctant spy. The descriptions of ink-stained fingers and the smell of papyrus made me feel like I was there. A few reviewers on Goodreads complained about underdeveloped side characters, but I think that’s almost inevitable in a novel so focused on its central conspiracy. If you enjoy slow-burn historical dramas with a side of intellectual rivalry, this might be your next obsession.
