A VEIL IN THE SHADE by EliahRoyKercad

Wisnokee. A city where the night devours the weak, and justice is as twisted as the criminals who rule its streets. Corruption thrives in every alley, and the law is just another game played by those with power. Detective Elroy Stephens has spent years trying to clean up the filth, but some cases refuse to be solved in the light. That's why, when the sun sets, he becomes something else. He becomes The Veil. A masked vigilante, a shadow in the dark, the last judgment for those the system refuses to punish. But Wisnokee is bleeding, and something far more sinister has emerged. Bodies begin appearing-hanging from streetlights, from courthouse rafters, from the bones of a dying city. Each corpse bears a mark-a sentence passed by an executioner long thought to be a ghost. They call him The Hangman. And his trials have just begun. Now, The Veil must descend into the abyss of Wisnokee's underworld, facing ruthless crime lords, corrupt officials, and a cult of justice-driven fanatics who believe the only way to cleanse the city is by leaving it hanging. As the lines between justice and vengeance blur, Elroy will be forced to confront his own demons. Because in Wisnokee, the only verdict that matters is the one written in blood. In Wisnokee, justice isn't blind... it's hanging by a thread.

Heirs And Hunters by crazypoodle

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
