From the bestselling “twisted sisters” behind Zodiac Academy • USA TODAY + Publisher’s Weekly bestseller
Deadly competition, spirit magic, and slow-burn obsession—with sharp humor and twists that bite. Hollow is dark romantasy for readers who like their forests cursed, their choices ruthless, and their love interests cloaked in shadow (literally and emotionally).
The vibe
The rules are simple: don’t listen to the whispers in the woods, don’t trust the man wrapped in shadow, and definitely don’t go out after dark. Every fifty years, the Great Hunt begins—Champions enter a cursed forest for one chance to shatter the corruption and claim the winner’s boon.
Ferris Creed isn’t a warrior or Fae, but she steps into the trees anyway—because the prize is her only shot at changing her fate. Then she meets Prince Bane: the monster everyone fears, commander of the Hollows, and the one man who seems determined to end her.
Tropes & tags
- Dark romantasy
- Magical competition / deadly trials
- Slow-burn enemies-to-lovers
- Morally grey shadow prince
- Cursed forest + whispers
- Spirit magic / elemental spirits
- Trickery, deception, survival stakes
- Dual POV
- Dark humor + blush-worthy spice
Perfect for readers of:
- Zodiac Academy vibes (but darker, forestier, and more feral)
- “I’m not here to fall in love, I’m here to survive” heroines
- Shadowy MMCs who are a walking red flag (and you’ll still read faster)
- Chosen-one stakes with amulets, spirits, and corruption at the core
Ferris has a mission—unite lost spirits, return scattered amulets, and reach the heart of the rot—through stubborn will and a little deception. She’s not there to fall in love… but the most dangerous thing in the woods might be the pull between her and the prince who wants her ruined.
