Beware the Raven

Death was just the beginning.

A boy awakens in the Hollow with no memory of who he was or how he died. In this fractured purgatory where souls drift between memory and madness, he's given a new name-Gobbler-and warned to keep his head down. But when a desperate woman arrives claiming to be his mother, something forbidden stirs in the spaces where his past should be.

Elizabeth has crossed impossible boundaries to find her son. Now trapped in this crumbling underworld where even death offers no escape, she discovers the Hollow's most terrible secret: here, souls don't simply die. They can be erased from existence itself, as if they never were.

As the realm's enigmatic ruler takes a dangerous interest in the boy's unusual nature, mother and son must navigate a maze of shifting allegiances and buried truths. Some memories are worth dying for. Some bonds refuse to be severed.
In a place where forgetting is survival and remembering is rebellion, every recovered fragment of the past brings them closer to a choice that will determine not just their fate, but the nature of mercy itself.

But every choice has a price, and the Hollow always collects what it's owed.

A dark fantasy debut about the spaces between life and death, the first book in the Hollow Prison Series.
