Echoes of the Fading Light by FreeingWish

In a world where the sun is fading, humanity's greatest source of life is on the verge of extinction. What begins as a mere flicker soon spirals into a relentless decline, leaving society dependent on photon generators to stave off the growing darkness. But even this artificial light isn't enough to protect everyone, and in the shadows, a deadly transformation is taking place. Two factions rise from the crumbling remnants of civilization: the Lightbearers, who fight to preserve the last traces of sunlight, and the Shadowforgers, who seek power in the dark. Amid this chaos, an unexpected bond begins to form between two unlikely survivors-a man caught between the factions and a mysterious woman with a secret that could change everything. As they navigate the fragile line between light and shadow, their connection deepens, but the dangers lurking in the dark threaten not only their lives but their hearts as well. Whispers of a forgotten force emerge-a mysterious energy that could either save what's left or destroy it all. In the struggle for survival, light and shadow collide-and so do the fates of two souls searching for hope in a dying world.

The Ghost's Heart by VashnaviSrivastava

Justice is her mission. Mystery is his. The first time I saw him, it was just another case-a face with no name, a shadow called "The Ghost." The second time, I caught a glimpse of something deeper, something raw beneath his cool exterior. But by the third time, I knew I was in trouble. This wasn't just an investigation anymore; it was a dangerous, forbidden pull that left me craving answers... and maybe even more. He's the kind of man I should run from. The kind of man who makes me question everything I've ever stood for. But the more I try to stay away, the closer I'm drawn into his world-a world where secrets and lies blur with desire and risk. So, what now? Do I chase him, catch him, expose him? Or do I give in to the one thing I never thought I'd feel... for a man I'm meant to destroy? Dive into my story, and join me as I walk the thin line between justice and passion. Because, honestly? I don't know how it will end-but I know it's a journey I can't resist.

Vindicated by chlox1d

I looked up at him, unsure of what just happened. I saw the blood glistening off of his gold H ring as he pushed my hair out of my face, scanning my eyes, making sure I was okay. "You should go back inside and find your friends. Go home and lock your doors." He said as he turned to walk away. "Wait!" I said weakly. He reached the end of the ally and turned around. "I don't even know your name." He paused, his eyes locking on mine before simply saying, "I'm Harry." then turning back around and disappearing into the night.

His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro.

But, her plans are halted when she meets Harry Styles, an over confident crook who has a lot of enemies and is set on revenge. A struggling painter, a heist master...what could go wrong?
