Emma Steel has always harboured a passion for solving mysteries, a dream that her father, a retired police officer, never supported. He believed the world of detective work was too dangerous for his daughter. Despite his disapproval, Emma’s determination never wavered. She decided to carve her own path and established her own detective agency in the bustling city of London where she was born and raised, hoping to prove her father wrong. However, the reality of running a detective agency was far from the thrilling adventures she had imagined as Emma found herself struggling with mounting bills and a community that was slightly sceptical of a young woman in such a profession. Clients were few and those who did come often doubted her abilities. But Emma’s resolve was unshakeable. In a twist of fate, after solving a problem at the down town animal shelter, Emma’s life took an unexpected turn when she got paid for her help in the form of a small Pomeranian who she named Sherlock, after the famous detective, hoping that the little furball would bring her some luck. Little did she know, Sherlock possessed an uncanny knack for sniffing out clues and had a remarkable intelligence that would soon prove invaluable. One rainy afternoon, as Emma was contemplating the future of her struggling agency, she listened to a mysterious voicemail from a man calling himself Lord Baxter, who requested her services for a matter of utmost discretion. Intrigued and desperate for a breakthrough, Emma left also a voicemail, since Lord Baxter did not answer her call about her having accepted the job and travelled to Lord Baxter’s sprawling mansion. Upon her arrival, Emma was greeted by a scene straight out of a detective novel. The grand library was in disarray, and at the centre of the chaos lay a lifeless body. Lord Baxter, the man who hired and who promised her a big financial bonus if she would succeed, was laying in a pool of blood with a dagger sticking out of his back! With nobody else around to help she dials 911 and waits standing away from the body, not wanting to disturb the crime scene, not hearing footsteps approaching until it was too late. In the door opening appears a dashing and brooding looking man who introduces himself as the Duke of Wessex, the brother of Lord Baxter. The Duke who is in utter shock to find his brother dead is even more surprised as he sees a strange but very attractive young woman with a cute dog standing further away from his brother’s body. Emma and Sherlock started to get to work, delving into the secrets of the Wessex family. Along the way they discover a web of hidden motives, and long-buried family secrets. Each clue they uncovered brought them closer to the truth, but also deeper into danger. The mansion, with its hidden passages and eerie atmosphere, became both a puzzle and a trap. As Emma navigated the treacherous waters of the investigation, she found herself facing not only professional challenges but also personal ones. Her growing feelings for the Duke were a distraction she couldn’t afford, yet she couldn’t deny the connection between them as he started to help her. But on the other side, the Duke, had his own burdens and secrets, secrets that started to intertwine with Emma´s own family! But then there was Sherlock, with his sharp instincts and his unwavering loyalty to Emma. Together, they slowly pieced together the puzzle, but while they were in the process of of revealing the shocking truth all hell breaks loose as Sherlock is been kidnapped! With threatening letters, demanding her to stop or else Sherlock would die, Emma has to put all her detective skills and instincts together to find him before its too late together with the help of the Duke who during their time together has fallen hard for the sassy detective. Can they save Emma´s beloved furry friend & uncover the true identity of Lord Baxter´s murderer before it was too late?

Salvation. Sanctuary. A safe place. Somewhere he can be safe and free. Somewhere away from abuse, from his bullies, from harassment, from false judgements... from ropes... and whips... somewhere away from pain. Somewhere they will never reach him. That is what Aqueo Harp had always been wishing for. So when he finds himself dying and waking up in a world of magic, a world completely different from the one he had, he views it as a blessing in disguise. It was the thing he had been asking for—to escape from the cruel fate of an orphan like him in his previous world—a life under the mercy of a human trafficking organization that plunged him in a cycle of recurrent depression, back-and-forth at the local detention center, and other stuff that are known to be interrelated with juvenile delinquency. With that in mind, Aqueo swears to never go back to his miserable old life and live an opposite life in the new world, one that is devoid of any trouble he had in the past. But not even a full day has passed when he finds out that his fate in this new world might end up the same as his previous one. This place is also brimming with slavery and other abuse, just as dangerous as his previous world—or even worse. But there is hope, Aqueo Harp meets a water spirit and finds new friends, something he never had for a long time. With their help, Aqueo doesn't feel as hopeless anymore.

“It’s Duke Raymond, oh my god he looks so handsome in white!!” a lady exclaimed. Just hearing this warning bell Eloise, peered to the right. A beautiful man dressed completely in white tux walked confidently into the ballroom. His black eyes wandered amongst the crowd, searching for a certain someone. {‘Why is he here!!’} Eloise bit her lips anxiously. {‘Either way, lets run before he catches me,’} she pulled up her fluffy ruffle skirt to her knees and ran like the wind. All of a sudden she felt her skirt being pulled from behind. “How audacious of you to pull a lady’s skirt,” she shouted and pulled without taking a glance back. “My, my, I think I stepped on a cockroach, what shall I do? Shall I roast it for tainting my shoes or should I chop its head off,” a hoarse voice jokingly said from behind. {‘Shit, I’m dead,’} she glanced back in slow motion. “This..... My lord, can you let go of my skirt,” she pointed to his foot that was firmly stepping on the bottom of her skirt. “Why not, I am just expressing my emotions to the lady who expressed ardent feeling to me in her letters,” he said with a smug smirk. The crowd gasped. “She wrote him a love letter!! That shameless wrench,” some lady shouted out loud. Hearing this, Eloise’s eyelid twitched, “sir... no, Lord, I think you misunderstood. I was only expressing my heartfelt gratitude with my ‘thank you’ letter,” she enunciated each word. The duke chuckled. “Oh is that so,” he strode closer having a tight grip on her skirt, “are the words bat-shit-bastard, ring a bell. I read it in your letter,” Eloise gritted her teeth, {‘so you plan to use my word against me, huh? We’ll see who wins,’} she stepped to his side, showing her back to the entire crowd. “MY LORD! Where are you touching me?!” Suddenly she shouted, gasping her bosom. “How audacious of you. I RESPECTED YOU SIR!! How could you do this,” she screamed and ran away while he was frozen in shock. The entire ball room was in disarray. “Lord Raymond is a pervert!!”

What! I knew he would be scheming something to torture me. I looked at him with narrowed eyes and he winked at me. I suddenly looked away to confirm that no one saw him doing that. I was blessed.

The prince of Maldonia, Prince Artemis of House Arteides, the bear killer, the slayer of the elves is crowned King when his father Luca King Arteides dies. Aurora is a seer and a powerful witch who has yet to aknowledge her powers, only Artemis knows of it. Lucian Mithandir is in exile recruiting an army to fight Prince Castellan of house Taelin for the throne of Prophis. Artemis wants no parts of this war, but he is very aware whoever wins the war will later turn to Maldonia. Artemis has no clue that a bigger war is coming which will set out kingdoms on fire, Aurora has seen it in her dreams and it's for the Sweet Waters Throne in Maldonia. The end is uncertain but the ways are clearer, who will sit on the throne after the war to end all wars. The Bastard who's been denied his true claim to the Sweet Waters throne with the mighties fleet in the world and King Artemis of Maldonia who has Aurora and dragons breathing fire. ~ Excerpt Scene ~ "Are you ready? A dragon is not a horse my love" Aurora expressed her concerns. "The dragons are ready to be claimed, Your Grace. I think it’s the perfect time for Artodo to take the skies and be claimed. He and the King have great relationship. He just needs to understand the words that’s all. "Torgo explained while looking at both Aurora and Artemis. "I understand the words." Said Artemis. "Incendio for fire and Valar for him to fly. I know some Low Moor too." It seemed Aurora wasn’t easily convinced, "Knowing the language of our ancestors doesn’t mean you can hang on to the dragon and take to the skies, especially since you are not just practicing. You are taking the dragon to the Mines, in clear daylight." "Exactly, that is the only way we can silence Lord Leoric. I cannot let him take advantage of my sister, I have to try…" Visera interrupted. "He’s ready, I can see it in his eyes." She said with a smirk. Aurora ordered Torgo. "Bring him outside," in Low Moor. Torgo nodded and walked inside the darkened cave with a fire torch. All five dragons were inside the cave perfectly chained. He went after Artodo, the biggest of them all. The black beast, standing at forty feet from head to tail with a wingspan of twenty feet. A terrifying beast to even stare at. Artemis took two deep breaths. "According to my ancestors history, the youngest dragon rider to ever took the skies was ten years old. You’ll be fine." Aurora teased Artemis after she noticed how nervous he was. The dragon keepers placed a saddle on Artodo’s back and two strong handles made of iron and wood for Artemis to hang on to. Then, finally Aurora walked to Artodo — the black beast. She pulled in Artemis and they both touched the dragon’s right eye, soothing him before the take off. "This is your rider now Artodo, you are to obey him from this day forward to the last, as your mother commands." Aurora said this is Low Moor while the dragon hissed slowly. The dragon hissed and Aurora took it a sign that Artodo understood him. She took a step back and let Artemis take over. These two weren’t strangers to one another. Artemis’s touch wasn’t strange to Artodo and he silently lowered his left wingspan for Artemis to climb up. Carefully and slowly, Artemis mounted the black beast. It was no secret that he was scared. When he was on top of the dragon, Artemis smiled looking down and he suddenly exclaimed. "You all look like tiny bees from up here!" Aurora, Visera, Torgo and the dragon keepers laughed. Aurora walked to him and they looked at each other. Their dream finally came true; "Promise me, you’ll come back alive." Said Aurora. "I promise." "And that you will not burn the Mines to the ground. If she disagrees with you, perhaps it’s time to let her go." This was what Artemis truly needed to hear so he may stop his obsession with saving his sister. When he was ready, he shouted to Artodo. "Valar Artodo," and right there the dragon’s feet pounded the ground heavy as it prepared for takeoff.
