The Western Fox Chronicles Book I: The Crimson Lotus Murder by PaulMayo2

Edo, 1714. In the pleasure district of Yoshiwara, the scent of incense and blood mingle beneath the paper lanterns. A string of high-ranking samurai are found dead in their chambers-each with a crimson lotus placed on their chest, each death staged to look like seppuku. Whispers spread that the spirits of the courtesans they once wronged have returned for vengeance. The city's magistrates call it divine punishment. But when a terrified widow begs for help, one man listens not to the ghosts-but to the silence between their cries. Augustin "Aki" Maruyama, the foreign-born investigator known as The Western Fox, is drawn into a labyrinth of deceit, love, and obsession. His sharp deductions clash with Edo's fear of the supernatural as he pursues the truth through teahouse corridors and mist-shrouded canals. Beside him walks Yamagata Tokujirō, a reformed thief with a grin too wide for the shadows they tread. Together they uncover a story older and crueler than vengeance-a tale of betrayal woven in silk, sealed in blood, and whispered by a spirit who refuses to rest. As Aki faces his first true case in Edo, he begins to see that reason alone cannot explain the darkness within men-or the ghosts they create.

Echoes of the Crescent Moon by IAmHoneyJea

Centuries ago, Masamune Date was the warlord who turned his blade on the woman who loved him. Her dying words became his curse: "Then live forever, so you'll remember what you destroyed." He hasn't aged a day since. The world changed-guns replaced swords, neon drowned out starlight-but the silence in his heart never did. Now he walks Tokyo as an anonymous man, carrying the same scar across time. His past finally catches him when a powerful art-collecting family announces an exhibition featuring his armor-the same relic sealed with her blood. The curator in charge is Harriette, the family's estranged daughter. Smart, skeptical, raised among lies and old money crime. She doesn't believe in curses. Until Masamune steps out of the shadows, claiming she's the key that can finally end his. He needs her bloodline to break it. She needs his past to bring her family down. Neither expects the ghosts between them to start remembering first. ❄️ Echoes Of The Crescent Moon, Book 2 of Threaded Worlds❄️ ❄️Threaded Worlds Part 1 - All Is Fair In Love And War Part 2 - Echoes Of The Crescent Moon Part 3 - Crimson Memories of Lucien Montclaire
