Noir Novels & Stories

Runes faintly glowed along the cracked walls, pulsing like veins of fire. Shadows shifted in the corners until figures emerged, cloaked and hooded. One by one, they stepped into the faint glow of broken chandeliers above. Nora counted seven. Each moved with the kind of poise that spoke of centuries of survival. Her hand brushed instinctively against the dagger at her hip, though she knew steel meant little here. The first of them spoke, voice dry like parchment. “Nora Ainsley. Rogue-born. Tracker. Murder suspect.” The words stung, but Nora lifted her chin. They want me to break before this even begins.

The almost decapitated body swayed under the weight of death, the stench of blood— heavy, metallic, and impossible to ignore. Nero’s voice broke the silence, smooth but edged with venom. “Well…” he drawled, the words carrying a dark amusement that hardly seemed appropriate for a time like that, “...this is dramatic. Whoever did this certainly has a flair for the dramatics. I almost want to applaud.”

I say sarcastically, “Is she okay though? Any idea how long this will go on for?” “I really can’t say….” Tilly says but is interrupted when the clue energy starts to dissipate and Nova lowers back into her standing position. She opens her eyes and look at me, rather than her normal blue they are black and gold, they look almost like liquid swirling around in her sockets for a moment and then clear back to normal. “What. A. Rush” she says looking at me and grinning from ear to ear. “Why are you all stood around looking so serious for?” she asked.

Only hints of metal mark him: an old spy’s ring, a plain silver clip holding his coat closed. Picture a knife resting on a golden plate, that is how he appears among the bright chaos. "Hold on," he says, voice low, eyes shifting toward two people bending forward. "Watch first. Then wait. Say nothing."

A mix of fear, anger, and relief. The truth hurt. But the lies had hurt worse. Deep down, I just wanted everything to go back to normal. AT FRANCESCA’S PENTHOUSE The penthouse lights were low, warm, and expensive. Francesca sat on the edge of the long white couch, legs crossed, lips painted deep red. She held a glass of wine like it was a weapon. She watched Mr. Blackwood with a smirk. Mr. Black stood near the window, back to her, hands in his pockets. His shoulders were tense.

Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have watched it on his TV but what choice does a man who hasn't gotten any action in weeks have? "Three categories," he said. "We've discussed this." I looked at the city below. He wasn't wrong. A club was a good place for a man like me who could probably……escape. Fine. — Noir was what happened when money had taste and taste had a budget and the budget had no ceiling. Dark, low, with that kind of lighting that made everyone look like they were keeping something interesting from someone. Lorenzo walked through it like a man checking that nothing had been moved.

the leader of their council said. There was so much hatred in the way he spoke to me, and I wondered what he was talking about. "What did you find out?" I asked him. " You possessed a dark lunar magic and this has brought about some kind of darkness to our pack, we do not accept that kind of magic here and anyone who brings such to us will be punished" he said. It sounded like some lame joke, I am never with such kind of magic, what has this got to do with me?
