Graduate student Sarah Chen never expected her life to change when she inherited her great-aunt Millicent’s cottage deep within Thornwick Hollow. But the moment she stepped inside, the air shifted heavy with whispers, shadows that moved too slow, and journals filled with occult secrets.
Among the relics was Malachar, a bound creature sworn to the Thornwick bloodline. He called her mistress, yet his burning eyes held hunger. Through him, Sarah awakened strange powers: weaving shadows, walking in dreams, glimpsing the other side of reality.
At first, it felt intoxicating. But every spell left her weaker, her reflection darker. Millicent’s journals revealed the truth Thornwick women never inherited power. They inherited a parasite. Each generation was merely a vessel, feeding the ancient entity with every drop of magic until nothing human remained.
Now, Sarah feels it inside her growing, waiting. The Hollow whispers her fate: she will either surrender to the Crone within or destroy
