Wrath

A dark enemies-to-lovers mafia romance with crime / mystery elements

Detective Nathan Rhodes doesn't believe in gray areas.
There's right.
There's wrong.
And there's the monster he's spent years hunting—an unseen force tearing through the city's criminal empires and vanishing without a trace. Every trail seems to brush up against Elaine Foster, a sharp woman who runs a quiet San Francisco bar where criminals feel safe, and cops keep their distance.

Until Nathan walks through the door. Elaine knows better than to let a cop get close, because trust is a weakness she can't afford. But Nathan doesn't feel like the enemy he's supposed to be, and the more their lives begin to overlap, the harder it is to keep suspicion from turning into something far more dangerous. Soon Nathan will have to decide what matters more: his badge, the truth, or the woman who might cost him both.

Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Worship

Dystopian low / soft science-fiction with fantasy elements

Inspired by Sleep Token's lore.

“Make an offering, Obsidian.”

Fifty-three percent purity.

I'm the kind of broken that makes me property of Lab Twelve, where I've spent the last five years being ripped open and stitched back together again in the name of a cure that the government has never actually found. We're told our suffering serves a greater purpose—that the old Gods left their mark on people like us before they were hunted to extinction, and the infection must be reversed before it spreads.

They tell us that this is how we save humanity from the defects of our tainted DNA. But something has started visiting me in my dreams to offer another explanation, and it makes the whispers I hear about forbidden worship inside the Lab sound less like heresy and more like a promise. If I'm right, everything I've believed about myself is a lie… and finding out the truth may cost me the one thing the Lab hasn't already taken.

Currently in edits · Planned before January 2027

About the author

Sophie
Night

Sophie Night writes stories steeped in danger, desire, and the darker corners of human nature. Blending genres such as dark romance, dystopian unrest, and crime-laced suspense, she creates worlds where morality is flexible and no one escapes unchanged.

Her work is rooted in one belief: monsters are built, not born, and to understand the monster, you must first understand the wounds that created it.

Drawn to the space between right and wrong, Sophie challenges readers to confront the parts of themselves they've been taught to deny, and to realize that understanding darkness—in ourselves and in others—is the first step toward owning it.

Acknowledging what lives in the shadows doesn't make you strange.

It makes you powerful.
