Shelby Stories

Aurora Garcia had spent three years working the frontlines of the Great War as a battlefield nurse, healing the injured. When the war came to an end, she found herself back in Birmingham continuing her work as a nurse. In such an occupation, she hadn't expected to capture the eye of the leader of the Peaky Blinders, and expected even least for him to offer her a job. #1 Peaky Blinders - 7th August 2026 #1 Tommy Shelby - 7th August 2026

Matilda Preston is the picture of 1919 high-society perfection. As the wife of Inspector Campbell's ruthlessly ambitious right-hand man, she wears expensive dresses, pours tea into porcelain cups, and hides her husband's bruises beneath high-collared lace. But Julian made one fatal mistake: he brought her back to Birmingham. Before the riches, she was Tilly Walsh-a wild, barefoot girl who ran the muddy alleyways of Watery Lane. And John Shelby has never forgotten her. Now, caught in the crossfire of a brutal war between the police and the Peaky Blinders, Tilly is playing a deadly game. By day, she is the perfect copper's wife. By night, she is risking the hangman's noose for stolen moments in the shadows with a razor-wielding gangster who is more than willing to burn the city down to set her free. Julian promised her safety. John promised her ruin. Only one of them was telling the truth.

Tommy Shelby, notorious Birmingham gangster is thrust to his knees and sent to hospital with a serious head injury. Even at his weakest moments he find allies in the most unusual moments. Olivia Heart is full of courage and honesty as she nurses Tommy Shelby back to life all while she's sucked in to his world of razor blades and ultimatums

"𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬." ( oc x oc ) 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 - the youngest Shelby sister was the only sibling that you could look at and say "no, she isn't related to those Shelby bastards." Although she shared the same brunette locks as her sister Ada and the same blue eyes as her brother Tommy, she did not share the same attitudes. Francesca was an anxious girl. And that only worsened when her brothers left for war. Her second eldest brother, Tommy, was a God in her eyes. She idolised him. Why? Nobody knew. But there was something about him. And for her.. Tommy loved her like she was his own daughter. They had a bond not even the strongest of men could destroy. They were cut from the same cloth. 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑, - Francesca finds that her closest and only friend, George, a boy who came from the richer side of Birmingham, had returned from the countryside. He was the type of boy all the girls would fawn over. Golden hair and blue eyes. Except, he didn't care for any of them. He cared for his best friend: Francesca Shelby. Or - Frances, as he called her. He was her only friend. Being older and, well, liked by most, he found it was his duty to look after her during such a hostile time. But they seemed to be blind to the fact that they were more than friends. In some way, they were more. They didn't know it but everybody else did.

After escaping a life led by her mother, Valerie Black finds herself in Small Heath where her only way to survive is working in an unfortunate employment. But then she meets John Shelby and feels her world has been flipped upside down.

'She didn't see shadows. She knew the steps because she had already walked them." When Krystal woke up in 1898 in the arms of a young Polly Gray, she brought twenty-five years of modern 2026 memories into the cold, coal-dusted grime of Watery Lane. She remembered the shows, the books, the dates, and the exact sequence of tragedies destined to tear the Shelby family apart. For two decades, she played the quiet background character: scrubbing step-stones with lye, painting futuristic glass spires in secret, and binding a dark blue thread to Thomas Shelby's wrist before he marched off to the mud of France. She promised herself she'd stay a spectator. She promised herself she'd let the canon timeline run its course. She was wrong. You can't watch the man you love drown in war noise and stay silent. You can't watch Arthur break, John bleed, or Michael rot in the Highlands when you hold the pen. Rewriting history comes at a price. As Inspector Campbell closes in, IRA bullets fly, and the looming shadows of 1924 threaten to drag her into the sea, Krystal must use every line of her secret knowledge to save the Shelbys. Because Thomas Shelby isn't just building an empire anymore. He's executing a holy blueprint written in her ink -and he will tear all of England apart before he lets her go. THIS WILL HAVE A BOOK TWO

"You're hired. But mind you, time.....time is very important." "I know that better than you think, Mr Shelby." . . . "Your smile is beautiful, Mr Shelby. You should find more excuses to smile." "Then I suppose you should stick around more often." . . . "Who the fuck are you, heh?! Tell me before I shoot your fucking brains out!" "You wouldn't believe me if I told you, Tommy." Two worlds collide, one from the past, one from the future. One who knows it all, the other, holds power in his hands like a cigar. Two people haunted by their own demons....... Join them on their journey.

In a world of guns and soot, Arabella Thorne was born into a world that she didn't belong to. Still, she found her place in the shadow of the Shelby empire - especially after catching the eye of the man who runs it. Being the sister of Freddie Thorne meant she had to fight battles that weren't her own, but rather inherited. While she didn't fight in the war but instead volunteered as a front line nurse, Arabella knew how to win the battles. It was incredibly easy when Tommy Shelby was willing to move a mountain in her name despite swearing her name wasn't worth more than gold to him.

At eighteen, Cora Shelby is the untouchable darling of the Peaky Blinders. Kept strictly in the shadows of her brothers' violent empire, she is the family's carefully guarded secret. But when the Black Hand descends on the family, the Shelbys are forced to flee their mansions and return to the mud of Small Heath to survive. Tommy's desperation brings in mercenaries: Aberama Gold and his lethal, prizefighter son, Bonnie. Savage, bruised, and devastatingly charming, Bonnie is everything Cora has been sheltered from. To Aberama, Cora is a distraction that will get his son killed. To Tommy, Bonnie is just a hired fist who has no business breathing the same air as his baby sister. But in the claustrophobic, smoke-filled rooms of a family at war, the electric pull between the gypsy fighter and the mafia princess is instantaneous. And catastrophic. Because in a vendetta where one wrong move means a bullet, falling for a Shelby might just be the prettiest poison of them all.
