The Hollow chose her-but power has a price.
Now crowned Queen of a dying realm, Virelle must wield the throne that was never meant for mortal hands. As the Hollow feeds on her humanity, she finds herself changing-mind, body, and blood. Dreams bleed into waking. Shadows whisper her name.
Across the veil, the mortal world of Erelith fractures beneath supernatural storms and haunt-born horrors. Resistance factions rise. The Sanctum sharpens its blades. And an ancient force-once imprisoned between realms-begins to stir.
As betrayals bloom in her court and love warps into obsession, Virelle is forced to choose: rule with mercy and risk annihilation... or become what the Hollow demands.
But the crown was never the end. It was the key.
