Rise of The Hollowborne

Rise of the Hollowborne

Book II, Part I of the Angelarion Saga

The flame has not died. It waits beneath the ash.

After the cataclysm at Starfall Reach and the unraveling of ancient truths, Angelarion Stormborn finds herself thrust deeper into a prophecy that was never meant to be fulfilled-at least not by her. With blood bound to both Tempest and Flame, she walks a perilous path between the fading legacies of the old Orders and the stirring of something far older... something that refuses to remain buried.

The Hollowborne-long-believed to be ash-bound myths-are rising. Born of forgotten druidic rites and cursed ember-magic, these shadow-infused undead stir beneath the withered roots of Hollowshade, drawn by the spark of Angelarion's power. Their hunger is not for flesh, but for memory, purpose-and vengeance.

Haunted by visions of burning trees, shattered mirrors, and a child she's never held, Angelarion journeys across fractured lands in search of the lost relics of the Flamekeepers. At her side are warriors and survivors: Duskarr, the quiet blade haunted by starlight; Haeliana, whose breath binds life and memory; and Kaelric, her sworn protector, whose past may be darker than his oath.

As ancient Orders splinter and skies fracture with celestial storms, scrolls burn and secrets bleed. The once-sacred Citadel of Stars dims, and trust erodes beneath layers of rot. Oaths fray. Allies fall. Enemies rise. And through it all, the Hollowborne whisper from the shadows.

But the Hollowborne do not rise alone.

In this first part of the Hollowborne arc, Angelarion must walk the line between vision and madness, betrayal and truth. She must learn to wield her flame not as a gift-but as a weapon. As the last Flamekeeper falls and long-dead sigils flare anew, a truth ignites that cannot be extinguished:

The Hollowborne were never dead.

They were waiting.

Rise of the Hollowborne is the first of a three-part continuation in the Angelarion Saga-an epic tale of elemental magic, broken oaths, undead armies, ancient Orders, and the fire of fate. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, rich lore, fierce heroines, and stories where even the ashes breathe.
