The Hollow Crown

By Nocturnal Arrow

Some doors should never be opened. Some voices should never be answered.

In Briar Glen, there are rules older than the houses: never answer a voice from the forest after sundown. Never count the bells aloud. Never invite the dead across the threshold.

Thirteen years ago, Elias's sister Mara vanished. She went to fetch water at dusk and never returned. Her bucket was found beside the well, filled with black feathers.

Now someone knocks at his door.

Three soft taps, a pause, and two more.

It is the secret knock Mara used when they were children.

Drawn toward the castle that swallowed his sister, Elias must confront a past that refuses to remain buried-and the darkness waiting beyond the threshold.

The Hollow Crown: A Kingdom of Shadows is a gothic dark fantasy about family, memory, and the terrible power of what will not stay forgotten.

This paperback features a large-print interior.
