In 1946 Vienna, where music conceals fresh societal tensions, virtuoso pianist Mariska Dornfeld plays a dangerous composition of survival. Each performance carries hidden melodies, each note a potential betrayal. When industrialist Konrad Stahlburg recognizes what lies beneath her classical facade, their connection ignites forces neither can control.

Against the backdrop of post-war tensions and buried secrets, they discover that some songs demand blood for their playing - and the most dangerous notes are the ones that can't be unheard.

The True Beethoven Blood by septemberlady921

"A legacy built on lies. A love forged in truth. In a world of power and deception, the true heir will rise. Blood may be forgotten, but destiny cannot be erased." In a world where names define power and wealth, some bloodlines are erased, altered, and buried beneath layers of deception. But even the darkest secrets refuse to stay hidden forever. Bella had known only hardship, far from the lavish Beethoven empire. She had no knowledge of the name she should have carried-the legacy stolen from her long before she was born. Her parents, Lysandra and Edmund Beethoven, had been the rightful heirs to the empire, but they were murdered by those who feared their power-by the very people who would later raise another child in their place. Anizza, raised in wealth, believed she was the true Beethoven heir. Unbeknownst to her, she was merely a pawn placed in Bella's place after the brutal murder of her parents. For years, the world was deceived. Anizza enjoyed a life that should have been Bella's, unaware of the bloodstains she carried-the empire she ruled built on lies and betrayal. But fate has a way of revealing the truth. When Bella crosses paths with Xandrex Beethoven, the empire she was meant to inherit begins to crumble. Xandrex, blinded by his family's legacy, never suspected that the woman standing before him would shatter everything he thought he knew about his heritage. Bella's quiet strength and unwavering sense of justice will change the future of the Beethoven empire-and steal his heart in the process. As Bella uncovers the lies that have shaped her world, she must confront Xandrex. He must decide whether to help her reclaim her birthright or protect the empire built on falsehoods. The cost of reclaiming what was stolen may be more than anyone is willing to pay. For love, vengeance, and the truth are now bound by blood. Bella is the true Beethoven-the truth is unstoppable.

Heirs And Hunters by crazypoodle

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

The Cuckoo's Song by RebeccaBala

'How could a God that inspired something as beautiful as this song also inspire people to rob her of the only person she had left? It made no sense to her. No higher power did. The comfort of an ultimate divine being had been ripped from her long ago, and the past few years had only confirmed that even if there was a God, she would hate him anyway. Yet music had always lifted her in this way, and it was difficult not to feel its power now. Tears welled in her eyes as she thought back to the last time she had heard anything like it. It had been Christmas eve; the night she had made herself a silent promise to reunite with her best friend and the man she loved. It was hopeless now. Anna turned and leant against the cold wall, sliding to a crumpled heap on the ground. Pulling her knees to her chest, she let the tears come. She felt so desperately alone. Her dream of Karl had been right. All she had ahead of her was a lonely future. Who could she turn to now?' The third and final instalment in the Cuckoo series. #1 concentrationcamp Trigger warning for graphic violence, graphic sexual content, mature themes and traumatic stress.

The Beast by xwriteratheartxo

HANNAH I've spent my entire twenty-one years on this earth in the background. Walked over by friends. Family. Strangers. And I didn't see a problem with it; I'd rather nobody pay attention to me. It was safer that way. Easier. Until I got the wrong kind of attention. Lev Somov caught me running from an impromptu crime I was committing against my ex-boyfriend, and in that moment, he somehow decided I was worth giving his attention to. All the bad kinds of attention. Next thing I know, he's watching over me, hijacking my job and becoming my client. And then he takes things above a level I never thought possible. He is a monster, incapable of feeling any type of remorse or guilt for anyone and anything, including me. All I can hope for is that I make it out of this obsession alive. LEV This life wasn't meant for me, but now that he's gone, it's mine for the taking. And no one is going to stop me. I've shown my loyalty through blood, and I make no plans to change my future. Especially not for the little kukolka I found stumbling into the wrong alleyway. I'll take my time before I break her. And then, the Dynasty will be mine.
