A dying kingdom. A crown that binds a hunger. A prince running out of time.
The kingdom of Vyrithar is rotting from the inside out. Crops fail, fog lingers where it should not, and the throne room feels less like a seat of rule and more like a sealed chamber holding something back.
Prince Alaric inherits the crown and the curse inside it. The binding that keeps the Hollow contained is failing, and the Hollow does not rage or howl. It waits. It learns. It pulls. Every day Alaric wears the crown, it takes more of him.
With Lady Seraphine Draven, a woman bred for court politics and trained for darker work, Alaric rides into the Shattered Vale toward the ruins of Kaelfell, the last place the old anchors still hold. Alongside them are a hard-edged captain, a terrified scholar, and a healer who knows the body can survive what the mind cannot.
But the Hollow is not their only enemy. Someone inside the kingdom wants the binding to break, and the closer Alaric gets to saving Vyrithar, the more the crown threatens to make him its final offering.
The Hollow Crown is dark fantasy with horror teeth: a story of sovereignty, inheritance, and the cost of keeping a kingdom alive when the thing you are saving it from is already inside you.
