Hallow King (FANTASY)

In the shadow of a kingdom fractured by war, Hallow King follows the story of Kaelen, the last heir to a forgotten dynasty-the Hollow Throne. Born in exile, Kaelen is a prince with no kingdom, no family, and no past. He is a ghost of the throne, haunted by the ancient curse that wiped out his bloodline and condemned his family to the ravages of time.

The lands once ruled by his ancestors are now a wasteland, plagued by an endless cycle of death and decay. Strange, unearthly creatures known as the Hollowed roam the countryside-souls twisted by dark magic, trapped between life and death. Legends tell that only the true heir to the Hollow Throne can break the curse and restore the land to its former glory. But with every passing year, the throne grows colder, and the hope of salvation fades.

When Kaelen discovers a hidden artifact-an ancient crown buried beneath the ruins of his ancestral home-he is drawn into a dark prophecy that suggests he is the only one capable of wielding the power to end the Hollowing. But the crown's magic is not easily tamed. It feeds on despair and corruption, threatening to consume the very soul of whoever dares wear it.

As Kaelen embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim his throne, he must confront the sinister forces that destroyed his family, including a powerful necromancer who seeks to raise an army of the Hollowed and plunge the world into eternal darkness. Along the way, he finds allies in unexpected places-warriors, scholars, and even spirits of the dead-each of whom holds a key to the kingdom's restoration, or its final ruin.

But the closer Kaelen gets to the truth, the more he questions whether he can wield the crown without becoming one of the Hollowed himself. The line between salvation and damnation is thin, and Kaelen must decide whether to embrace his legacy or destroy it entirely before it destroys him.

Hallow King is a gripping tale of fate, power, and redemption in a world where death is never far away. Kaelen's struggle against the curse of his ancestors is a race against time, as the hollowed lands call for a king to return-whether he is ready or not. Will he be the savior his kingdom needs, or the darkness that consumes it?
