Hollow Realms Ashfall (The Hollow Realms)

By Marek Varro

The Hollow Realms: Ashfall follows Marek, a weary bounty hunter haunted by his past and tethered--both literally and psychologically--to a cataclysmic force known as the Echo Engine. After a mission gone wrong leads him to a pulsing relic with strange, memory-warping properties, Marek is drawn back into a nightmare he thought he had escaped. With remnants of a past disaster still etched into his body and mind, he reunites with Kaelyn, a pragmatic leader whose team is investigating a new Dead Zone where time and reality bend unnaturally. As they press deeper into the shifting, hostile terrain surrounding the mysterious Shard Spire , they encounter signs of a second Echo Engine--something powerful enough to rewrite the laws of existence. Echoes of the past bleed into the present; shadows mimic the living; and Marek begins to fracture under the weight of resonance and memory. At the heart of this chaos is Callen--Marek's brother, now transformed into the "Hollow King," a being fused with the resonance, convinced that destruction is salvation. As the Spire collapses around them in a tide of broken time and corrupted ash-born horrors, Marek is forced to confront the impossible choice between saving the world and saving himself. After an explosive confrontation with the Engine and his brother, Marek awakens in a strange liminal space known as The Fold , a place outside normal time and reality. With a piece of the Echo embedded in his chest and the world unraveling around him, Marek must face the truth: he hasn't escaped the Echo--he is part of it now.
