THE BLACK ROSE MURDERS

Arya_Bodda
Three years ago, my sister vanished. This morning, they pulled her coat out of the Danube with another woman inside it. Throat cut. Left hand missing. A bronze medallion stamped with a black rose sewn into the lining like a signature. Then London found one. Then Paris. Then Berlin. Four cities. Four dead women. Every single one of them wearing my sister's face. I am August Völker once Vienna's finest detective, now a ghost who drinks too much and sleeps too little. I can lift a fingerprint from a teacup. I can read a bloodstain like a newspaper. But I cannot explain why someone has spent three years turning corpses into breadcrumbs that lead straight to my door. Someone wants me to follow the trail. Someone else wants me dead before I reach the end of it. And the worst part the part I'm only beginning to suspect is that my sister might still be alive. That she has been alive the whole time. That the man who took her has been waiting, very patiently, for me to come looking. She was supposed to be dead. He made sure she wasn't. A dark historical thriller set in the dying days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Secret societies. Early forensic science. A detective with everything to lose. Updates [daily/weekly].

How to Survive as an Uchiha

A man reborn, more interested in his next meal than clan politics, finds himself caught in a power play that could reshape Konoha. Uchiha Masashi has seen it all before - literally. With memories of his past lives and abilities that shouldn't be possible, he'd rather perfect his combat skills than deal with clan drama. But when the newly appointed Fourth Hokage shows up with a proposal to unleash the Uchiha's power beyond their traditional police role, even Masashi has to pay attention. The clan sees opportunity. The village sees profit. Masashi sees the threads of fate that once led to his clan's destruction starting to weave again. As the Uchiha rush to prove themselves "ten times better than the Hyūga," Masashi walks a fine line between duty and survival. He knows too much - about the Nine-Tails incident that could destroy his clan's reputation, about young Shisui's tragic destiny, about the wheels already in motion. The question is: will he bother trying to change any of it? After all, in a world where even the strongest must sometimes bend to fate, sometimes the smartest move is to grab some dango and watch it all unfold. ---------- ---------- I don't own Naruto.
