The First Sherlock Holmes

The Adventures of Sherlock Pom - The Murder of Lord Baxter.

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?

Shadow of the First Sin

Valerian, an outcast in his own home of Elyria, a celestial realm where immortal avians live, is anything but ordinary. Born from the forbidden union of a mortal man and an avian woman, Valerian is a half-breed, bearing the wings of an avian and the soul of a human. For this, he has been shunned his entire life. In Elyria, avians live eternally, their wings symbolize their divine nature. Valerian's mother, upon his birth, was banished to the mortal plane of Eldoria—a land teeming with diverse races and cultures. This punishment was not just for their union but because of a prophecy foretelling that a child born from such a forbidden bond would bring the end of times. Stripped of her celestial essence, Valerian’s mother was forced to live among mortals. Valerian grew up in isolation, his childhood marked by loneliness and fear. Seen as an omen, he was kept locked away, his every action scrutinized. Viewing Elyria as a prison, Valerian rebelled, hoping to be cast out and find freedom. Yet, no matter his actions, the avians refused to banish him, ignoring his desperate attempts to escape. Determined to break free, Valerian takes a drastic gamble that finally grants him his desired freedom, but at a steep price. Now that Valerian has become mortal, he faces a whole new set of challenges. Struggling with an identity crisis, he must discover who he truly is: a human, an avian, or something entirely different. The story delves into the rich and varied world of Eldoria, introducing a host of mortal residents such as elves, the fey, beastfolk, wizards and witches, dragons, and many more.

The First Princess of Averlyon

[Book will resume soon.] "Princess?" A young man entered the dimly lit room. "I'm not a fucking princess! Get this in your fucking head, dumb bastard! And tell this to the rest of these crazy family members! Lemme get outta here!" She yelled while twisting around her wrist, trying to get off the ropes that were holding her back from throwing a punch at these people who kept visiting her one by one. Her so-called family. "But YOU ARE a princess." Yuden amplified the fact that she was indeed Princess Zahra. The young man smiled softly at her although the smile didn't reach his eyes. His eyes were just cold yet they had some sort of fire in them that might as well burn the person in front just by his gaze. "Should I untie you? You seem in pain," he walked closer to her. "Ha! Do you even know what pain is? Pain is you, your whole bullshit, this house, these people!" "I didn't allow you to be so rude, Princess Zahra," Yuden's eyebrows furrowed, his smile fading.
