The Christmas Secret of Ballyshannon

When Maeve Flanagan returns to her hometown, she's looking forward to the familiar Christmas atmosphere of her village. But after years of tradition, the magic seems to have faded. With a lot of enthusiasm and new ideas, she sets out to save the holiday-only to quickly encounter resistance. The villagers are skeptical, and while she tries to rekindle the spark of community, time is running out.

When she accidentally discovers a mysterious workshop at the edge of the forest, where beautiful wooden decorations for the holiday were once crafted, she meets a reclusive carpenter who refuses all help. As the days until Christmas pass, Maeve discovers that behind the rough exterior, a spark of hope lies dormant, and there's more hidden than she ever expected-along with a secret that could change more than just the holiday.

Amidst glittering snowflakes, the magic of an Irish Christmas, and shimmering Christmas lights, Maeve realizes that the true magic of Christmas isn't just in traditions, but in the willingness to open hearts and heal old wounds.

A heartfelt novel about old wounds, the power of forgiveness, and the wondrous magic of the Christmas season.All Rights Reserved

Chronicles of Alora: Stargazer by ElysiaNoir123

Beneath a sky stitched with constellations and secrets, three girls were born on the same winter night-a princess cloaked in shadow, a conqueror wrapped in flame, and a light-bearer destined to scatter the darkness. Each carries a thread of an ancient prophecy, their fates bound to the future of the kingdom and the balance of a world teetering on the edge of ruin. Eve knows nothing of this prophecy. Growing up in the quiet mountain village of Starling Hollow, her life has been shaped by whispered tales of the Fae, restless dreams, and a gnawing sense of not quite belonging. But when glowing lights begin to call her into the ancient Aurorian Forest, Eve discovers the truth: she is not who she thinks she is. Stolen as a child and stripped of her memories, Eve is Alora-the light-bearer of prophecy. And the Fae, long thought to be extinct, are waiting for her return. Guided by visions and whispers of the past, Eve must navigate a fractured kingdom, unravel the mystery of her stolen identity, and reclaim the power hidden within. But not all lights shine for good, and not all who seek her mean her well. The path to the Vale of the Fairies is treacherous, and the choices she makes will determine not only her fate, but the fate of the entire kingdom. In a world where stars hold secrets, forests whisper names, and magic is both a gift and a curse, Eve must decide: will she follow the light, or be consumed by the shadows?

Lighthouse Keeper's Tale by shuzu__3

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.
