An Empire of Gods and Liars

Set in ancient Rome, this romantasy explores a world where gods walk among mortals, and a woman named Livia can see through their illusions—until her sight begins to fade. When she is abducted by a formidable enforcer searching for a stolen divine face, their dangerous alliance uncovers a deep conspiracy within the empire's power structure. As trust and feelings develop amid threats of betrayal and a looming death sentence, the story examines themes of worship, autonomy, and the true nature of protection amid political intrigue.
