The Beacon is a clean YA fantasy novella about a kingdom in crisis. “Waves” or “bubbles” of evil are traveling across the land, inciting acts of foolishness, selfishness, and pure evil. The king calls on Adonis Santinetta to investigate the phenomenon and restore tranquility to Margonne.
All the episodes are free to read, and new episodes drop once a week unless life intervenes. Each episode runs from 1,500 to 2,000 words, more or less. Most episodes also include an insider’s note or two from the author. (NB: Some minor editing of episodes—spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc.—may occur post-publication.)
I hope you enjoy it!
