Locus Nocturne: The Arcane Crimes Unit

In the hidden heart of New York, where skyscrapers cast shadows over fae-run speakeasies and vampire syndicates rule the night, the Arcane Crimes Unit enforces the law. Detective Lycan Orlov, a werewolf bound by ancient rites and fueled by black coffee, is partnered with the dangerously charming Dhampir-Succubus, Drucilla 'Dru' Nova. Together, they hunt the city's most monstrous criminals, from rogue mages to soul-stealing demons. But their latest case—a string of impossible murders where victims are turned to solid gold—threatens to unravel not just the city, but the very fabric of their reality.
