The Legend of the Lighthouse
The cliffs of Harrow's Point jutted into the restless sea like jagged teeth, dark and unyielding. For generations, townsfolk whispered about the lighthouse perched upon them-a tower abandoned by time and men alike. Some claimed it was cursed, others said it held treasures or knowledge lost to the world, or glimpses of the impossible.
The wind that swept along the cliffs carried the echo of secrets, old as the stones themselves.
Elias Hawthorne, a man whose brilliance teetered on the edge of obsession, had vanished decades ago. He left behind journals filled with cryptic instructions, fantastical inventions, and rumors that haunted the town long after he disappeared. And now, that legacy was calling-calling to Clara Hawthorne.
Clara had never met him. She knew of him only through whispered family stories, half-remembered tales that fluttered through her childhood like shadows. Yet somehow, she felt the pull of his presence, a silent invitation to uncover the mysteries he had left behind.

Whispered Shadows
Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.Complete
The House on Hawthorn Drive
Four friends. One secluded Victorian house. A five-day vacation that becomes a fight for survival. This is the premise of "Hawthorn Drive," a psychological thriller that delves into the depths of female friendships tested by the uncanny and the lingering shadows of trauma. Ellie, our protagonist, arrives at the seemingly idyllic Hawthorn Drive with a sense of unease that quickly escalates into full-blown paranoia. The house itself breathes an unsettling stillness; its decaying architecture and cryptic details foreshadow the horrors that await. As strange occurrences multiply-mysterious objects appear, whispers echo from the walls, and the friendly neighbors reveal a chillingly intrusive nature-Ellie's growing fear is dismissed by her friends, adding a layer of psychological tension to the supernatural horror. The narrative unfolds through Ellie's increasingly unreliable perspective, reflecting the blurring lines between reality and hallucination as the supernatural entity begins to exert its influence. What begins as a relaxing getaway quickly transforms into a desperate battle for survival as the friends uncover a dark history connected to a forgotten cult, and learn that one of them is inextricably linked to the house's sinister past.Complete

His heart is torn between two natures: the flowing mercy of water and the unforgiving stillness of ice. As he travels the land, crossing paths with mages, guilds, and foes alike, Meliodas must learn to control the storm within him before it consumes everything he loves. For in the north winds, an ancient force stirs-one that remembers the dragons, and the boy who carries their legacy in his soul. Elemental magic. Lost dragons. A hero forged by the tides.

The Dreambound: Echoes of Hypnos Trilogy Book Two: The Veil Between Stars
The dream never ended-it only changed shape. Months after the shattering of the Door beneath Camp Half-Blood, Callum "Cal" Bexley has learned to live between worlds: not fully asleep, not fully awake, but haunted by whispers from a dream that still remembers his name. When a new constellation appears above both camps-a white-gold feather burning through the sky-Cal knows the silence is over. Summoned west to Camp Jupiter, Cal and Naia Reyes find themselves caught between the domains of Hypnos and Somnus, where memory itself has become a weapon. There, Praetor Octavia Aelius and her temple's dreamwalkers struggle against a spreading phenomenon called the Veil-a thin, living barrier between realities where dreams bleed into the waking world. As Cal's control over the dream realm begins to fracture, he discovers that the First Dream wasn't destroyed at all-it evolved, learning to hide inside the minds of those who touched it. Each night, more demigods vanish in their sleep, pulled across the Veil toward something vast and hungry. Now, Cal must master the power he never wanted and confront the truth of his lineage: that the son of Hypnos may have inherited more than dreams-he may be the key to keeping the gods themselves from forgetting who they are. But the deeper he travels into the Veil Between Stars, the more the line blurs between dreamer and god, love and illusion, life and the sleep that never ends. Because some awakenings cost more than dreams can repay.Complete

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.Complete
