The Maltese Falcon Noir Detective

The adventure of a modern day detective turned aristocrat

Ari Kang, a sharp-witted detective from modern-day Korea, is renowned for her unrelenting pursuit of justice. With a mind rivaling Sherlock Holmes, she navigates the labyrinth of crime with an uncanny ability to unravel the most complex mysteries. But when a frustrating cold case leads her to seek solace in an old detective novel, fate plays a cruel joke—she wakes up inside its pages. Now trapped in the body of Lady Evelyne, the fallen daughter of a disgraced duke, she finds herself in a world of Victorian-style aristocracy, ruthless power plays, and a society where murder is disguised behind silken smiles. To make matters worse, she’s no longer just an observer—her original character was meant to die, serving as nothing more than a footnote in the book’s protagonist’s journey. Refusing to accept her fate, Evelyne sets out to rewrite the narrative, using her detective instincts to navigate the treacherous halls of nobility. But her investigations draw the attention of an enigmatic prince—the fifth in line to the throne—whose golden eyes hold secrets as deep as her own. As alliances shift and hidden enemies lurk in the shadows, Evelyne must untangle a web of conspiracies, solve murders that weren’t meant to happen, and uncover the truth behind her own family’s tragic downfall. But one question looms over her: if this is a book, can she ever escape? And if she does… does she even want to? A thrilling blend of mystery, intrigue, and slow-burning romance, The Adventures of a Modern-Day Detective Turned Aristocat is a tale where the detective becomes both the hunter and the hunted in a world where survival depends on wit, charm, and a well-placed deduction.

The Iron Falcon

In the heart of Central Asia, where empires rise and fall like the shifting sands, a warrior emerges who will shape history with his sword, his strategy, and his unwavering faith. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni—a name that would echo across centuries as both a conqueror and a patron of culture—sets out on a relentless campaign to expand his empire, challenge the mightiest rulers, and carve his place among history’s greatest kings. Mahmud, the eldest son of Sabuktigin, inherits not just his father’s kingdom but also his unyielding ambition. Born into the rugged lands of Ghazni, he learns early that power is not given; it is seized through blood, battle, and sheer will. But with great power comes great enemies—both within his court and beyond the frontiers of his realm. The story of The Iron Falcon is one of war, betrayal, loyalty, and a vision greater than one man’s thirst for conquest. The Rise of a Conqueror From the moment Mahmud ascends the throne, he faces opposition from his own family. His brother, Ismail, backed by courtly conspirators, attempts to claim the crown, igniting a bitter power struggle. But Mahmud is no ordinary ruler—his mind is as sharp as his sword. Through clever alliances and ruthless military tactics, he secures his place as the unchallenged Sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire. Yet, this victory is merely the beginning. Determined to extend his dominion, Mahmud sets his eyes on the rich lands of India, where the Hindu Shahi kings rule with immense wealth and influence. His ambition is not just territorial; he believes he has a divine mission—to spread the glory of his empire, establish Islamic governance, and secure untold treasures to strengthen his rule. The Battles That Shaped an Empire With his most trusted general, Malik Ayaz, at his side, Mahmud launches a series of daring military campaigns. His army, a formidable force of cavalry, archers, and fearless warriors, storms the strongholds of Northern India, clashing with the legendary Raja Jayapala in the Battle of Peshawar (1001 AD). The fierce resistance of the Hindu Shahi kings tests Mahmud’s strength, but his brilliant tactics and relentless pursuit of victory prove overwhelming. Yet, conquest is never simple. As Mahmud advances deeper into the subcontinent, he encounters the resilience of Raja Anandapala, who unites rival kings in a desperate bid to repel the Ghaznavid forces. The ensuing battles are fierce, with betrayals, shifting alliances, and moments of brutal warfare that define the era. Through it all, Mahmud remains steadfast—an iron falcon soaring above the battlefield, always striking with precision and power. Betrayal, Glory, and the Clash of Civilizations While Mahmud’s sword carves empires, his mind thirsts for knowledge. Unlike mere warlords, he is a patron of scholars, poets, and architects. He invites the brilliant Al-Biruni, a polymath whose wisdom transcends borders, to document the vast lands and cultures Mahmud encounters. The Persian poet Firdawsi, author of the Shahnameh, also graces his court, though their relationship takes a dark turn when Mahmud, consumed by his ambitions, fails to appreciate the poet’s genius. But amidst the grandeur of conquest and culture, danger lurks within Mahmud’s own court. His trusted advisors whisper of betrayals, his allies waver, and the political games of viziers and rival warlords threaten to destabilize his empire. Even those closest to him—loyal generals and royal confidants—begin to question the weight of his relentless campaigns. One of the most defining moments of Mahmud’s reign comes with the legendary attack on Somnath (1025 AD). The opulent temple, known for its immense wealth and religious significance, becomes the ultimate prize. To some, Mahmud is a liberator; to others, he is a plunderer. The battle for Somnath becomes not just a military conquest but a clash of civilizations, where faith, power, and destiny collide. The Legacy of the Iron Falcon
