About this book
Summary
THE HOLLOW PROTOCOL In a city powered by stolen souls, the truth is the most dangerous spark. In the neon-drenched metropolis of Aethelgard, magic isn't a gift—it’s a commodity. The city is powered by the "Glimmer," a massive spire of raw arcane energy that keeps the elite floating in luxury while the poor rot in the acidic rain of the slums. When Officer Elias Mahoney discovers a body in a District 9 alley that has been turned into literal ash, he uncovers a terrifying secret: the Spire is dying, and the High Council has authorized a "Hollow Protocol" to harvest the very souls of its citizens to keep the lights on.Book information
