Moonlight
Nephrit – the half-blood – has made a career out of surviving impossible odds.
He plays by his own rules, takes jobs no one else would touch, and keeps both elves and humans at a safe distance. Usually.
But when the mission – just escorting a girl south – seems easy enough, Nephrit soon finds himself hunted by mages, watched by gods, and caught in a game no one explained the rules to.
He doesn't care about fate, ancient legends, or chasing relics. All that matters is the mission.
The problem not everyone wants them alive.
Moonlight is a slow-burn, character-driven fantasy with sharp edges, dry wit, layered worldbuilding – and a reluctant “hero” who’d rather run to fight than talk about his feelings.

About the author
E. Beckett
1 book1 followerE. Beckett is the author of Moonlight, an epic fantasy novel set in a world scarred by the Great Desolation. His stories blend vivid world-building, powerful magic, and characters caught between loyalty, love, and survival.
Born in Hungary and now based in the UK, Beckett writes and translates his own work, shaping a universe where elves, humans, and forgotten relics clash in unpredictable ways. Moonlight is the first in a planned series: while the opening volume is character- and quest-driven, the upcoming sequel expands the world itself, unveiling deeper histories and connections.
When he isn’t writing, Beckett enjoys exploring folklore, working on maps of his world, and sharing stories with readers who crave both wonder and grit.
