Detective Adrian Cross, a man haunted by the mistakes of his past, is called to investigate a string of murders that seem to carry no connection. But as the trail deepens, he uncovers signs of a vast, unseen network pulling the city’s strings—one that has already destroyed countless lives, including his former partner’s. To unravel the conspiracy, Adrian is paired with Mara Vey, a brilliant yet enigmatic forensic analyst. Their partnership begins with suspicion and constant clashes, but slowly, their undeniable chemistry becomes a weapon against an enemy who always seems one step ahead. As the bodies stack higher and the danger tightens, Adrian and Mara are drawn into a game where every clue costs blood and every wrong move could mean death. Allies are scarce, betrayal is everywhere, and the mastermind behind the syndicate remains just out of reach until the final arc, when the truth threatens to break them both. Echoes in the Dark blends clever schemes, intense confrontations, and relentless twists into a suspense-filled journey where trust is scarce, and justice is anything but clean.

Marcus Carter has seen the worst in people. He was a mercenary who had been in a lot of wars and fought for causes he didn't believe in. He survived violence that would have killed most men. But after the fighting stopped, all he wanted was a quiet life, something like peace that he never thought he would have. But at home, peace is a luxury. When the criminal group that killed his team comes back, Marcus has to go back to a world of violence, corruption, and betrayal. He starts to take down the empire that ruined his life with his elite fighting skills and a ruthless desire for revenge. But revenge is just the start. Marcus learns that things aren't as simple as they seem as he gets more and more involved in the city's criminal underbelly. He never thought corruption would go this deep, and in the streets where loyalty is bought and sold, it's hard to tell who is a friend and who is an enemy. In a world where power is the only thing that matters, Marcus has to deal with dangerous alliances, shady people, and the harsh truth of the city. He learns that to stay alive in this harsh world, he has to follow rules that aren't very honorable as he builds his own empire. Marcus will learn that peace is not a place to go; it's a fight that never ends in the harsh city. Will he take over the empire and rule the underworld, or will the harsh reality of the city break him?

With one strapped to his wrist in the form of a mysterious watch, Myles must now face a brutal new reality: hunted by demons, betrayed by humans, and haunted by what he's becoming. As the Paragon—an elite faction sworn to exterminate all supernatural threats—capture him and question his existence, Myles finds an unlikely ally in the cold but conflicted Lieutenant Anna Storm. Together, they must survive assassins like the sadistic Kaelin, the shape-shifting shadow Nixx, and the monstrous Infernox. But as each trumpet awakens, the line between salvation and damnation blurs. And with his powers growing and his past life crumbling, Myles must decide— Is he the world’s last defense? Or its doom incarnate?
