Crosshaven Island: A Novella
She was supposed to be their light. Instead, she led two children into the dark—and only she came out.
Alira was a light-bearer, one of the rare few who could push back darkness and heal the broken. Her village depended on her. Trusted her. Until the night she went into the storm to save two lost children and failed them both.
Now her light barely flickers. Her gift feels like a curse. And the guilt she carries is heavier than anything she's ever tried to heal.
When a mysterious current pulls her boat to Crosshaven—an island that appears on no map—she finds an old man who speaks in riddles, a talking cat with unsettling golden eyes, and shadows at the edge of the trees that used to be people.
The island offers her a let the grief consume her, or learn to carry it differently.
But some wounds can't be healed alone. And some lights, once extinguished, need a different kind of source to burn again.
Crosshaven is a quietly powerful fantasy about grief, redemption, and discovering that even broken things can still choose to shine.
For readers who love character-driven fantasy with emotional depth, found family, and a touch of magic.
