LOVE AND HONOR: The Mad Emperor (BL)

Author: maj

“The world paints him in red. But before that—he only saw the world in black and white.” History would forever remember him as a monster, but what really forged him into a tyrant? This re-imagining explores the tragic life of Rome's most infamous mad Emperor, from his traumatic childhood to his shattering reign—with a twist. Born a Roman prince, but haunted by a rare affliction that drains the color from his world and renders all faces unrecognizable, the young Caligula finds solace only in the unwavering devotion of Lepidus, a young mysterious noble. But when the paranoid Emperor Tiberius subjects Caligula to unspeakable torment, the naive prince embraces the darkness within, transforming into the very monster he was taught to fear. A historical BL novel that asks: Was Caligula born mad, or was he made that way? Forget the legend for a moment—the story told by famous historians like Suetonius, Cassio Dio and many more. Let us discover the vulnerable young man before the crimson stains of infamy. Because... before the blood… before the madness—there was silence. There was pain. And there… was love.
