beacon n. a fire or light serving as a guide ☼ Growing up with another half in her twin sister Allison, Eleanor Argent has always struggled with the concept of how she compares to her brave inspiration. But more importantly, she struggles with the idea of how they could be different, even when she wants nothing more than to be the same. In Eleanor's eyes, Allison is confidence and courage; someone to look up to and someone who will always be there for her no matter what. But something from her childhood makes it even harder for Eleanor to tend to her differences. With her wild nightmares and odd hallucinations or tendencies, a fresh start in the community of Beacon Hills in the middle of her teenage years seems highly nerve wracking. However, with the support from her family, new friends with even stranger mysteries than her own, and a boy who makes her glow, the twin can try her hardest to navigate the uncertain conditions in a new town, and the more complicated conditions inside herself. *** SLOW BURN!!!! *** AUTHOR'S NOTE: I wrote this years ago and there are definitely moments that make it clear how young I was when I wrote this LOL but I stand by making this book more of a story that establishes Eleanor as a strong character so she can thrive and you can feel even more connected to her relationships (with Stiles and her family) throughout this book and the sequel, Tether. I get how some people may feel like the bits they get on the way to the romantic high point aren't hot and heavy enough for them personally. To me, I love a build up and it is worth it. But if that's not your cup of tea and you prefer the books to be more about the relationship and love from the beginning - please try a different story by the amazing authors on this platform. Please keep it kind and do not voice hate in the comments. Thank you ❤️ (P.S. there is no smut in this book or the sequel. I'm more comfortable writing "fade to black" scenes LOL) Teen Wolf Season 1 and 2Complete

A Crown of Ash and Echoes
The Shattered Crowns Trilogy continues in Book II - A Crown of Ash and Echoes, "Every crown carries echoes of the lies it was built upon." When Aurora Valenstar wakes in the dead lands beyond the Border, she believes she's the last living remnant of a kingdom gone to ash. But the truth waiting in the shadows is far crueler. She has not been stolen by monsters - she has been delivered to them. The realm of the Fae, once dismissed as myth, breathes again in ruin and vengeance. Its ruler, the enigmatic and terrifying Shadow-Crowned King, claims Aurora's blood is the key to restoring what her father destroyed centuries ago. As Aurora begins to piece together the truth of her captivity, every thread of loyalty she's ever known begins to unravel. Her father - the Peacekeeper, the healer, the man she once believed incapable of cruelty - waged a silent war of genocide. The "monster" she was taught to fear was not the one beneath her bed, but the one sitting on her father's throne. And as the veil between light and shadow thins, she begins to understand the depth of his sins - and the cost of the peace he built upon stolen lives. Worse still, Aurora's heart fractures with a second betrayal: her first love, long thought dead, lives. Alexander Darksong - the boy who once called her Little Star - now stands at the right hand of the very king who took her. His survival is not a miracle. It's a wound. He is no longer hers, and the loyalty in his violet eyes now belongs to her enemies. Between the Fae who see her as salvation, the king who sees her as a weapon, and the ghosts of two men who broke her heart in different ways, Aurora must decide what she truly stands for. Will she fight for the kingdom that raised her on lies, or the people her blood was taught to hate? As old gods stir and crowns crack under the weight of their secrets, Aurora learns that monsters are not born - they're made. And sometimes, they wear the face of the man who once kissed you goodnight.Complete
