In the March of 1872, Chapworth Manor burns down under suspicious circumstances. Detective Constable Mortimer is sent to investigate, but as he delves deeper into the mystery, more unanswered questions arise.
A terrible tragedy that occurred eight years ago seems to be somehow connected to the fire. But how?
Why does Master Chapworth’s beautiful daughter keep sneaking out at night? Why is the young piano tutor so afraid of marmalade? What is the head butler’s real name? And why does the new servant boy keep turning up in the most inappropriate of times?
Not all is as it seems at Chapworth Manor. Will the truth finally be revealed? And what really happened on the night of the fire? One thing’s for sure. Things lost in the flames of revenge can never be brought back…

The Clockwork Labyrinth of Lady Holloway
Beneath Victorian London's smog-choked skies, where time bleeds and secrets fester, reclusive inventor Sir Arthur Holloway vanished in 1875. Officially a suicide, rumors whisper of a monstrous machine beneath his manor-the Black Fog, a sentient entity feeding on memories and warping time. His heir, Lady Eleanor, returns to bury his legacy, but the decaying Holloway Manor holds horrors: an encrypted journal of impossible equations, whispers of a forgotten twin sister, and a labyrinthine engine merging man and machine. As the Fog thickens, Eleanor confronts a doppelgänger with her face and her father's consciousness fused into the gears. To stop the cult Obsidian Hand from weaponizing time, she must decide: destroy her father's creation, erasing herself and her sister's ghost, or become the Fog's new host. This gothic-steampunk thriller weaves a villain of living memory, a labyrinth breathing with temporal paradoxes, and women defying erasure in a society that fears their brilliance.

Queen of Cards (English version)
We were a whole group of friends. And yet, I was feeling so lonely. It was hard to trust the others knowing that one of the players of this deadly game of cards would do anything to kill us... With all the revelations, treasons, and breath-taking clever strategies, would I be up to the task? Warning: this fiction is a thriller, but still contains two/three scenes that may be offensive to young audience. No worries, I will add a warning just before each passage involved. Inspirations: I was highly inspired by the French game The Werewolves of Millers Hollow, itself based on the game Mafia. I also had the idea for this novel while listening to the song "Lily" by Alan Walker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTJbE3sfvlI). To finish, my friends can feel some Danganronpa and La Casa de Papel vibes in the story. I therefore invite all these two series' lovers to read it! Big thanks to Théo and Lilith676 for this amazing cover *-*Complete

Mr. Messenger (ENGLISH)
Mainchester, a decaying, smoke-choked factory town, holds more than just poverty within its grime. Arthur, an orphan from the St. Arianna Orphanage, lives a life of simple prayers, warmed by the presence of his two best friends. When a seemingly ordinary night turns into a nightmare, the orphanage vanishes from the map and from memory. Arthur survives only through the touch of a starlight he never understood. The world deems the tragedy to have never happened. All except one: Arthur. Declared an anomaly by the threads of fate, he is relentlessly pursued by a phenomenon that seeks to erase his existence. Amidst the intrigues of a powerful church, a dark-worshipping cult that sows suffering, and god-tier artifacts capable of altering reality, Arthur must choose between uncovering the truth and sacrificing himself for the safety of others. With every near-fatal stroke of misfortune, Arthur gains new clues, tools, and enemies. This journey is not merely for revenge or a reversal of fortune: it is about who has the right to rewrite a city's story, and how far one orphan is willing to go to reclaim a home that was stolen from him.

His flower || Tewksbury x fem!reader ❁
❝ 𝐴 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑒， 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒. ❞ Anna read out loud, while I was staring at the flower that Lord Tewksbury gave me. ❁ I always was sort of different. It wasn't my looks, my health or my social status. It was my mind. I am sick of men telling us, women, what to do. I am sick of my mother telling me to find myself a rich husband. I am sick of my Father being a member of the house of lords but I still won't be the person following him, even though I am the oldest. And why is that? Because I am a woman and that is the only reason. But I decided to defend myself. I decided to make a difference. My plan was to make women join protests against the sexism going on. To inspire them to defend themselves and I was going to achieve my goal even if it meant that I would have to leave behind everything. I only made one rule for myself to follow: don't fall in love. But when I met the Viscount Tewksbury of Basilweather, I quickly knew that I had to focus so I wouldn't break that rule. #5 in SherlockHolmes (16th January 2023) #6 in enolaholmes (4th February 2023) #3 in runningaway (4th February 2023) #5 in emmawatson (28th May 2023) #2 in Tewksbury (10th July 2023) #1 in womensrights (6th June 2024-29th July 24) #1 in Sherlockholmes (17th August 2023) #2 in runningaway (26th November 2023) (All the characters except my own belong to the owners of Enola Holmes) About 30.000 words have been used in this bookComplete
