Hollow (Crown of Hearts and Chaos Book 1)

Don’t listen to the whispers of the woods.
Don’t trust the man cloaked in shadow.
Don’t earn the wrath of the scattered spirits.
Don’t go out after dark.

The Great Hunt begins once every fifty years and only the Champions willing to face death to shatter the curse dare to enter.

The Champions…and me.

I’m no warrior, no swordsmith, and certainly no Fae, but the forest is my only hope. To enter those trees is to walk willingly to my demise. But I need the boon the forest will grant the winner and I’m willing to risk it all for a chance at claiming it.

I just never expected to face him beneath those trees. The beast who strikes fear into the desperate people of all lands. The monster who commands the legion of Hollows and makes our plight a thousand times worse.

The Hollows are empty of all things but none are so heartless as him.

Prince Bane intends to be the death of me. But I have an oath to fulfil before I’ll let him have me. And I’ll do whatever it takes to achieve it.

I am Ferris Creed and I’m going to unite the lost spirits who once bound the wandering trees in place, return the scattered amulets to the core of its corruption, and use the winner’s boon to change my fate. Come wretchedness or torment, through trickery and deception, I will get what I came here for. And no one will stand in my way. Not even Prince Bane.

*** Hollow is a dark Romantasy from the bestselling authors of Zodiac Academy, Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. It is a heady cocktail of Summoners, seduction and spirits, set to get your heart racing and feet kicking. There will be a ruinous, black hearted love interest, a rebellious, ruthless FMC, plot twists, cliff hangers, dark humour and a healthy seasoning of make-you-blush spice. It is not for the faint of heart. All those who enter the forest are bound by its terms – will you walk willingly into the dark? ***

This is a warning to any who choose to turn this page. Beyond this point you will be subject to heartache, anguish, rage and romance of the utterly ruinous variety. There will be a morally-grey man whose dark gaze pins you in place and whose actions are totally unacceptable in any situation – unless of course he happens to be Fae. Which luckily, he is. So all bets are off. But if you don’t like them closer to seven foot than six, rough around the edges, dark of hair, battling inner demons and smouldering from the corners of every room they occupy, then this probably isn’t the book for you. Then again…a little smouldering never hurt anybody… It’s probably the corrupted soul and dark intentions that will put you off – unless he happens to be devastatingly attractive of course… Which he is. In which case I suppose you’re as doomed as the rest of us. So turn the page, my sweet. We all knew this was inevitable anyway – but don’t say I didn’t warn you…
