Ashes of the Hollow King
“You shall be King, but father no kings.”
In the northern realm of Eldhame, where the flame of kingship is said to be lit by heaven itself, war hero Kaelan Vore returns from victory bearing more than just battle scars. Haunted by a prophecy spoken by three veiled Sisters in a forgotten hollow, Kaelan finds himself caught between divine silence and the roar of ambition.
When King Aedric unexpectedly elevates him—bypassing older lords and ancient rights—Kaelan becomes a symbol of change. But not all favor is without cost. As whispers rise and the court shifts like smoke, Kaelan and his sharp-minded wife Rhiannon are drawn into a spiraling path of betrayal, blood, and spiritual unmooring.
What begins as a holy calling curdles into obsession as unseen forces twist prophecy into curse. The Eternal Flame flickers. The Watcher sees. And a kingdom built on sacred fire begins to crumble from within.
Ashes of the Hollow King is a dark and lyrical retelling of Macbeth, set in a fully-realized fantasy world where crowns burn, faith fractures, and every soul must answer for the weight of its own ambition.
