an old lighthouse on the cliff-it was a mystery wrapped in legends. Eamon, the quiet keeper of the light, had lived alone by the storm-battered coast for years. The villagers whispered that he spoke to ghosts, that the lighthouse could guide lost souls as well as lost ships.
When a stormy night brings Liora to the lighthouse door, drenched and shivering, Eamon realizes this visitor is different. Soon, Eamon learns the truth: Liora is one of the souls drawn to the Beacon, forever bound to its light.
But Eamon's not the only one who notices. Finnian, a curious boy, sneaks out to uncover the truth, and Maeve, the village's storyteller, warns everyone that the sea never gives up its secrets lightly. When Captain Ronan, a retired sailor saved by the beacon years ago, returns, he and Eamon must uncover the mystery of Liora's lost love-and whether the beacon can bring her peace, or if her spirit is forever tied to its eerie light.

The Merchant
"They say every lighthouse keeper receives one last visitor to hear his story" said the Old Keeper "Oh! You think I am here to listen to your story?" the Sailor seemed amused "Yes" answered the Old Keeper in deep thought, looking to the sea. The Sailor broke the brief silence and said "Well it seems that I have to stay here for a while, looks like a storm is on its way..." he pointed out of the window to the now grey clouded sky "So go on, tell me your story." "My story?" "Yes your story!" "My story isn't mine, my story isn't about me" "YOUR story is NOT about 'You'?!" the Sailor humored. "What is it about then?! I hope it is not about another sea monster!" The Old Keeper turned to face the Sailor "No! Not a sea monster...a sea Master."Complete
