The Strain Ancients

Chronicles Of An Ancient Immortal

“I don’t know how old I am. My earliest memory is something along the lines of fire good, ice bad, so I think I predate written history, but I don’t know by how much. I like to brag that I’ve been there from the beginning, and while this may very well be true, I generally just say it to pick up girls.” --Adam the Immortal Surviving sixty thousand years takes cunning and more than a little luck. But in the twenty-first century, Adam confronts new dangers—someone has found out what he is, a demon is after him, and he has run out of places to hide. Worst of all, he has had entirely too much to drink. Chronicles Of An Immortal is a first person confessional penned by a man who is immortal, but not invincible. In an artful blending of sci-fi, adventure, fantasy, and humor. It introduces us to a world with vampires, demons and other “magical” creatures, yet a world without actual magic. At the center of the book is Adam. “I have been in quite a few tight situations in my long life. One of the first things I learned was if there is going to be a mob panic, don’t be standing between the mob and wherever it is they all want to go. The second thing I learned was, don’t try to run through fire.” --Adam the Immortal Adam is a sixty thousand year old man. (Approximately.) He doesn’t age or get sick, but is otherwise entirely capable of being killed. His survival has hinged on an innate ability to adapt, his wits, and a fairly large dollop of luck. He makes for an excellent guide through history . . . when he’s sober.

Ancient Secret

In a world divided by ancient power and shadowed by the rule of four kings, 17-year-old Dorothy is thrust into a destiny she neither understands nor desires. Born in a quiet village and raised in the safety of an orphanage, her life changes forever when a mysterious old man tells her of the Celestial Eye, a legendary power said to hold the key to unimaginable strength—and a curse that could unmake her very soul. Unknowingly bound to the celestial forces through the old man’s love and an unsealed eye that glimpses fragments of the future, Dorothy embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth about her origins and the powers surging within her. Alongside her steadfast mentor Kael, the mysterious hunter Arden, and her childhood friend Mark—whose vast knowledge is as intriguing as it is suspicious—Dorothy must navigate trials of self-discovery, confront her deepest fears, and uncover secrets buried in the ruins of history. But as she delves deeper into the mysteries of the Celestial Eye, Dorothy learns that her world is far more fragile than she ever imagined. Elves whisper of a dying queen, shapeshifters lurk with centuries-old grudges, and a shadowy demon—an entity with a hunger for celestial power—looms closer than anyone suspects. The threads of fate begin to unravel when Dorothy discovers a past written in blood, a future painted in fire, and a prophecy that could either save her world or destroy it. Faced with ancient curses, relentless enemies, and an enigmatic villain hidden among her closest allies, Dorothy must decide if she’s willing to embrace the celestial power within her—or let it consume her entirely. In this tale of trials, betrayal, and the resilience of the human spirit, The Ancient Secret takes readers on a journey where the brightest lights cast the darkest shadows, and even the kindest faces may hide the deepest secrets. Will Dorothy rise to become a savior, or will the celestial forces claim her as their own?

The Last of Ancient Magic

“En mi primera vida, fui un prisionero del destino: una existencia breve, consumida por una enfermedad que me arrebató la oportunidad de soñar, explorar o simplemente vivir. Pero mi final no fue realmente el final. Desperté en un mundo completamente diferente, uno donde la magia reina, los reinos se alzan y caen, y los secretos ancestrales susurran en las sombras. Renací como Alexander Hemingway, hijo de un guerrero legendario y una maga sin igual, en el seno de una familia noble destinada a la grandeza. Sin embargo, el maná, el pilar de este mundo, me negó su favor. Marcado como un “amorfo,” incapaz de usar la magia como los demás, soy una anomalía en una sociedad donde el poder mágico define el valor de una persona. Pero mi historia no será dictada por el destino ni por las expectativas ajenas. Aunque este mundo me rechace, estoy decidido a forjar mi propio camino. Porque, en lo profundo de mi ser, hay algo diferente. Algo antiguo. Algo que ni los magos más poderosos pueden comprender. Mientras navego por este mundo (una academia mágica donde se forja la élite del imperio, intrigas nobles que se ocultan tras sonrisas, y una magia perdida que parece llamarme) debo enfrentar peligros que amenazan no solo mi vida, sino la esencia misma de lo que soy. ¿Mi propósito? Sobrevivir. Proteger a quienes amo. Y desentrañar los secretos de una magia olvidada que podría cambiarlo todo. No poseo la fuerza para dominar este mundo, pero sí la voluntad de desafiarlo. Y esta vez, no permitiré que nada ni nadie me detenga. En un mundo donde la magia lo gobierna todo, demostraré que incluso una anomalía puede cambiar el curso de la historia.”

Leo Carter: The Accidental Time Traveler of Ancient Rome

Leo Carter is just your average 21st-century English major—slightly disorganized, perpetually late, and hopelessly hooked on the dramatic, old-school world of Shakespeare. But when a late-night study session with Julius Caesar unexpectedly turns into an accidental trip through time, Leo finds himself not in a college dorm, but smack-dab in the heart of ancient Rome. To make matters worse, Leo isn't just a tourist; he's holding a mysterious, glowing book that seems to pulse with a life of its own and whispers secrets that no modern-day student should ever know. Cue the eye-rolls from history buffs everywhere: Leo Carter, with his sneakers and too-tight jeans, is now the unlikely center of attention in a world full of toga-wearing senators, opportunistic politicians, and more backstabbing than a high school cafeteria. With the help of Gaius, a sharp-tongued scholar who suspects Leo's arrival is part of a bigger picture, Leo must navigate the bustling city streets, avoid unwanted attention from the guard, and figure out why his 21st-century self is now entangled in a centuries-old power struggle. All the while, he’s juggling his modern sensibilities with the unexpected—and often absurd—realities of life in ancient Rome, including questionable hygiene, impromptu gladiator fights, and more than one ill-timed “Et tu, Brute?” moment. As if that wasn't enough, there’s the book: a relic that some seek to control and others to destroy. With his own life on the line, Leo will have to learn the real lessons of ambition, loyalty, and how to properly make an entrance when surrounded by a crowd of toga-clad onlookers. And he might just find that some things—whether ancient or modern—are more timeless than they seem.

In the year of famine,I fed millions of ancient citizen

Ye Mumu found that the ancestral vase in her home could magically connect to the ancient times two thousand years ago. So she met an ancient young general. The general guarded the important city on the border and was surrounded by 300,000 barbarian troops. There was a severe drought, the riverbed dried up, and 200,000 people starved to death, leaving only 80,000 people. With nowhere to go, the general and the people of the city could only wait to die passively! He begged the gods for water and food, hoping that the people would survive. Ye Mumu waved her hand and approved it! She hoarded a large amount of supplies to feed the soldiers and the people. Steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and meat sandwiches... every day is different, giving the ancients a little shock of modern food. Sending military books, hoarding food to recruit soldiers, building factory arsenals... giving the ancients a little shock of modern military. When she was deceived, the inherited family business faced bankruptcy. To repay her kindness, the general gave her a lot of money, paintings, antiques, and porcelain... With antiques, she saved the family business, became the richest woman, and reached the peak of her life! The general relied on Ye Mumu to provide modern military equipment to conquer the barbarians, recover the nine states, pacify the six kingdoms, and unify the world. He promised to build a temple for her and worship her for generations. The general sent a marriage certificate: With the mountains and rivers as a witness, I look forward to meeting you when the sea is clear and the river is calm. Under the marriage certificate is a phoenix crown and bridal robe. What a good young general, so this is what you are thinking!
