In a world where humans and fae coexist, a common enemy appears. Nobody knows what the Hollows truly are.

There are only two rules: don't offer them your name, and don't look them in the eye. After witnessing the death of his mother at the hands of the Hollows, Cassiel Jäger becomes one of the most renowned Hollow hunters on the continent.

Determined to get to Svadaeva, a desert queendom known for having the least amount of Hollow attacks, he teams up with an unlikely ally. Diora Hyoscyamus, a trained assassin with a job to get information on the Hollows, ends up in a jail cell with no way out.

When a human finds her and bargains for her release, Diorites has no choice but to abandon her adopted brother in favor of joining the enemy on a journey across the continent. Auri Luthien is the most notorious thief in all three human kingdoms.

After accidentally killing a Hollow and inevitably getting cursed, she finds herself jumping into a portal made with fae magic to get rid of the stain on her hand and the mysterious voice that won't leave her alone. Shasi Dārayavahush has no desire to marry for a political gain but her parents have other ideas.

When she hosts an unexpected group of travelers and ends up finding an ancient diary, Shasi figures out how to help her people without tying the knot, even if that means finding an ancient temple in the middle of nowhere. A temple that might just leave her with more questions then answers.

Kore Astra is a half breed, a rare mix of human and fae. With uncontrollable plant magic, she makes a deal with a handsome stranger that ends up with her in a realm teeming with Hollows.

Suddenly, everything she thought she knew seems to be wrong. Maybe the Hollows aren't the monsters everyone thought they were, and maybe the Gods aren't as kind as they are made out to be.

A dark force is churning, preparing to wake. The Gods have abandoned the people, leaving them vulnerable.

Only one person seems to have the answers, but unlocking them will come with a price that might not be worth it in the end. .
