The Mayor of Concordia has struck the deal of a lifetime. Concordia has turned in to the perfect community...top rated schools, high public works projects, stable employment, comfortable housing for 2/3 of the city. Also in Concordia, crime rates are at an all-time low in the city's centennial lifetime...or at least that's what the papers say. In truth, the Mayor Johnson has secretly made an arrangement with the enigmatic Messengers, a secret order. In exchange for them being allowed to use the town as a sanctuary, they have virtually eliminated all strife in the city...but this is an illusion. In truth, people from the surrounding county go missing every night...be they men, women, or children, all are taken by the Messengers for their strange experiments and returning severely altered or even dead. Hassan Rahal, private detective, and his five companions seek to discover the truth behind the Messengers, but meet only with dead ends.
Enter the Spectre. A cloaked figure, clad from head to foot in black and a mask which reveals only a twisted grin. The embodiment of Courage...Comedy, appears in Concordia to expose the mystical Messengers and reveal their true purpose in Concordia. Challenged by the Mayor, hunted by the Messengers, and his identity sought by the tenuous alliance he has made in Hassan's team, Comedy will let no obstacle keep him from uncovering the mystery of the Messengers. But little does Comedy know, the Messengers have many faces...and he'll have to peel back all the layers to discover the truth.

The mark belongs to a secret buried for decades-one tied to a woman neither of them can ignore. Charlotte Voss knows more than she's saying. Hunted by an unseen force and tangled in a past she can't escape, she's either the next victim-or the mastermind behind it all. As Ethan and Adrienne race against time, the line between hunter and prey blurs. Lies unravel. Betrayals surface. And as the final truth comes to light, they realize... Some bloodlines were never meant to be traced. Will they ever get to solve this case? Or will they become an unsolved mysterious case as well?

A Darkness Within | UnOrdinary
A young man with a mystery had been enrolled in a top school. After a life full of pain, and darkness held deeper down, he would have to come to terms with the monster he was. He had pushed through it all, but instead of leaving his demons behind, he only drowned himself with them in the end. Almost as if a water balloon was being filled, he let everything pile up. It was only a matter of time till he couldn't hold anymore, and popped. He would be tested, to see whether he would surpass his darkness and rise to rule with the others. Or left for dead, unable to control himself to the point of self-destruction. All he needed was a supporting hand, or so he thought, but when that hand came to him, he ended up rejecting it unwillingly. Pushing himself darker as his past consumes him once again. Can he finally break his own mold? Can he break the molds of others for the better? Could he possibly change the world around him once and for all? Or will history repeat itself as he drags down everyone with him once again... A lost mind in a powerful body, with a dark background, a short fuse, and a deep secret. With a heart of black and a brain of gold. As you read, you will learn about the world around him, what makes him so special, and will find out how he may have A Darkness Within...
