01

Whispers Beneath the Hollow

The Hollow whispers with Nyx’s voice, offering power wrapped in shadow and truth. Marked by her hand and desperate to save his stolen family, Gareth is pulled into a struggle where every secret cuts deeper than steel. To resist her is to remain helpless—but to yield is to let the darkness take root.

02

Crown Beneath the Spire

Nyx’s whispers are not enough. At the Shattered Spire, Amon demands order and crowns only the ruthless, binding all others in chains of ash. To claim the strength to save his family, Gareth must decide if he will bow beneath the crown—or be broken by it.
