A piece of horror-fiction I wrote back in school five years ago. Felt really nostalgic reading it back for the first time in a while and, even though my writing has (hopefully) moved on, I'm still a little proud of it. Enjoy! "It began with me kneeling beside a crow's corpse. In retrospect, I realised my position would have appeared to others as though I was mourning for this creature. At the time, this couldn't have been further from the truth."

A murder at the castle gates, a young widow in distress - and only one man willing to solve the mystery of the violent death that has disrupted the peaceful village of Sevenport! After years of hardship and slavery, Harun the Arab has found work as a noblemen's scribe in the village of Sevenport. Altough he often meets with hostility in medieval Christian Europe, he is content with his lot. Yet his quiet life is disturbed when a peasant in his village is murdered and nobody seems inclined to investigate the murder. There's no such thing as a police in medieval Europe - unlike in Harun's homeland. So Harun will just have to fill the gap and find the murderer... --------------------------------- REVIEWS: 8 / 10 points, Writing4eva Book Reviews ACHIEVEMENTS: # 4 on 'What's hot'-list category Historical Fiction #27 on 'What's hot'-list category Mystery / Thriller The first work by RobThier, the most successful German Wattpad authors and winner of multiple awards, published in English.
