Sherlock Holmes has seen it all before.

Men after revenge, women running from the past, street rats with nothing to lose. Those who are in it for money, for love, for a way of escape. He has dealt with criminals and kings. He can fathom the motives of shopkeepers, peasant girls, dukes and professors.

Yet rarely does he find one who plays the game for its own sake.

Charlotte Winchester has barely hit twenty when the worst happens. One moment secure in her position as the educated, strong-willed heiress to the family fortune, the next moment running for her very life. Betrayed by the closest of friends, terrified for her brother's life, she quickly realizes how much is at stake.

She's willing to do anything.

And for once, Sherlock Holmes can't predict the outcome.

***

Inspired by the original Sherlock Holmes memoirs by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The Marquess of Winchester by tonevastefanova
47 parts Complete
Amelia's been on the streets since she can remember. She was abandoned by her mother on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns and was later thrown out of there too due to her unruly and 'unladylike' behaviour. She's been surviving on the streets for many years, stealing for food, rummaging in bins for clothes, scraps of metal or wood, which she uses as makeshift appliances, decorations and weapons. She's had a tough life, but it's made her into the strong, independent and fiery woman she is today. Ezra Beaumont, marquess of Winchester and future Duke, although thanks to his arrogance and narcissistic tendencies, he was sent to work down in the village with the local breadmaker in an attempt to humble him and make him a better person and better ruler by his parents the current Duke and Duchess of Winchester. Amelia's been trying to find her mother for as long as she can remember but all she has is a name. What neither Amelia nor Ezra knew, was that that name would connect them in a way neither would've ever imagined. She finds someone so broken under that cold exterior that she can't help but want to help him. They get thrown into a world of witches, wizards and magic and evil. They set off on a journey to become some of the most powerful witch and wizard to ever live, in order to defeat a great evil. Along the way, they recruit five other individuals each experienced in a different area of magic. Who will love and who will hate? Who will even live to tell the tale? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first draft, I've edited it along the way but the more I revisit and edit the better it wil get.
