beacon pines

In a fractured world where superpowers ignite at the edge of death, Elias Varn is no caped crusader—he’s a janitor crippled by fear, accidentally turning ordinary people into temporary heroes with a pulse he can’t control. Dubbed "The Beacon" after a hospital collapse sparks a movement, Elias wants nothing more than to fade into obscurity. But his power, tied to his terror, draws desperate survivors, ruthless Ascended, and a shadowy scientist hunting the secret in his blood. As a cryptic voice whispers of a cosmic reckoning, Elias must unravel what it means to be a hero—not by fighting the darkness, but by lighting the way for others, even if it burns him out. Blending gritty superhero action with psychological depth, this epic saga of courage and chaos promises a thousand chapters of twists, tears, and triumphs.

In the storm-lashed town of Alerion’s Edge, where the forests whisper ancient secrets and the moon rules more than just the tides, Crescent Pines Lycan Saga begins with Moonbound Hearts—a sweeping tale of forbidden love, cursed bloodlines, and the violent pull of destiny. Avery Caldwell, a fiercely independent artist haunted by the grief of losing her fiancé, retreats to the edge of Crescent Pines to escape the noise of the world. But her search for silence is shattered when she crosses paths with Kael Thorne—a brooding, dangerously captivating stranger who saves her from a creature made of shadows, its eyes like burning coal. Wounded and mysterious, Kael vanishes before her eyes, his injuries mending beneath the silver gaze of the moon. Kael is a Lycan, the exiled heir of the Thornclaw Pack, cast out for rejecting a blood-pact older than memory. Cursed with uncontrollable shifts and hunted by the Mirefangs—a ruthless rogue pack led by his own brother, Lucien Thorne—Kael lives between two worlds, neither fully man nor beast, and haunted by the throne that was stolen from him. But everything changes the night he saves Avery, a woman whose soul may be bound to something far older—and far more dangerous—than either of them realizes. As Avery is pulled deeper into the Lycan underworld, she uncovers the legend of the Moonbound: a mortal woman whose soul echoes with the power of the old moon gods. She might be the one destined to bridge the divide between Lycans and humans, to shift the tide of war. But loving Kael means more than just risking heartbreak—it means standing at the center of a conflict that could burn both their worlds to the ground. Caught between Kael’s need to protect her and the awakening power stirring in her veins, Avery must learn to survive brutal politics, ancient rivalries, and the wrath of Eira, a high priestess and Kael’s former betrothed, whose hatred burns as hot as prophecy. Eira will stop at nothing to see Avery fall and the prophecy rewritten in her favor. As blood spills beneath a rising full moon and trust fractures like old bone, Avery is forced to confront impossible choices. The war Lucien stokes threatens to erupt into chaos, and Nina—Avery’s skeptical younger sister—arrives in Alerion with secrets of her own, unraveling the fragile threads Avery thought she could hold onto. Amid visions and omens, guided only by the fading wisdom of Grandmother Rhea and the reluctant alliance of Dorian Vance, a hunter with his own scars, Avery steps into a role she never asked for—but cannot deny. When the final blood moon rises and the Mirefangs prepare their siege, Avery must decide what kind of future she’ll fight for. In a world where even love has claws, destiny demands more than courage. It demands transformation. Moonbound Hearts, the first in the Crescent Pines Lycan Saga, is a story where myth bleeds into reality, love defies the stars, and the fiercest battles are not waged on battlegrounds—but in the heart.

Detective Mara Ellison arrives in Durn Hill to investigate the disappearance of sixteen-year-old Samantha Leigh. But from the moment she crosses the town’s limits, nothing is right — the fog never lifts, time stutters, and the locals are eerily evasive. As she follows a trail of disturbing artwork, warped audio recordings, and sealed case files, Mara discovers this isn’t the first disappearance. Every ten years, someone vanishes. And each time, the town forgets more. The deeper she digs, the more her own memories begin to slip. Reflections move without her. Familiar voices whisper from trees. She finds Samantha’s sketchbooks — filled with images of Mara drawn before she arrived. The truth leads her into the ancient forest surrounding Durn Hill, where the Hollow waits — a sentient presence tied to a forgotten ritual site. It doesn’t kill. It remembers. It feeds on what people try to forget. To survive, Mara must face the trauma that haunts her… and uncover what connects her past to the town’s rot.

With millions of residents and dozens of sprawling districts, it is controlled by The Empress, a seemingly immortal woman who created it from the ashes of the old world. But, behind her and her royal court, the city is really run by a vast network of criminal families known as The 14 Tribes. Vicky De Santos and Luke Thompson belong to one of those families. Vicky's aunt Sunny is the head of the Morrella family, and when she and Luke aren't running a nightclub to sell drugs and launder money for her, they're taking care of any unwanted thorns in Sunny's side. Unfortunately, taking care of one of those thorns sets in motion a series of events that would change all of their lives forever. This story was originally written in 2013 and published here in 2018.
