The Beechwood Chronicles: The Crown of Fire and Snow
When a mysterious pendant begins to glow in the dead of night, twelve-year-old Rowan Ironhand stirs in his sleep. He has no idea his quiet life in Beechwood is about to change forever.
He always believed his world was ordinary. Until the shadows begin to move on their own. A strange chill settles over the city. Whispers slither through the dark. And as the Pumpkin Festival approaches, a tall hooded figure appears where no one else seems to notice.
Rowan, Lila, and Taren set out to uncover the truth. A rising storm is building, tied to the pendant’s power and a legend buried beneath Beechwood. As the danger grows, Rowan’s father, Garrick, is pulled into the mystery. The ghost stories he once dismissed are beginning to come alive.
With help from a mysterious boy, the three friends must face ancient magic hidden in the mountains. And with every step forward, one feeling grows they are not alone.
Part mystery, part adventure, and rich with powerful magic, this story follows three friends who must rely on their courage and loyalty, even when both are tested by forces far older and darker than they ever imagined.
To save their home, they must stand together. Because some secrets are meant to be found… and some destinies are impossible to escape.
Perfect for young readers who crave magical adventures, deep friendships, and mysteries lurking in the shadows. It’s the kind of story parents will enjoy just as much as their kids.

Adin Spina's The Beechwood Chronicles: The Crown of Fire and Snow feels like a love letter to classic, character-driven middle-grade fantasy. It promises a comforting blend of magical mystery, loyal friendship, and a small-town secret that's perfect for young readers, and their parents, looking for an adventure that is thrilling without being terrifying.
The setup is immediately engaging. Rowan Ironhand, a twelve-year-old boy in the seemingly ordinary town of Beechwood, is a quintessential and relatable hero: someone on the cusp of discovering his world is far more magical than he ever dreamed. The inciting incidents, a glowing pendant, moving shadows, a chilling presence at the Pumpkin Festival, are all wonderfully atmospheric hooks that tap directly into the joy of childhood spookiness
