is a dark fantasy tale set in a world where the dead are resurrected as mindless skeletal laborers. The story follows Mira, a young girl with the rare ability to hear the whispers of bones—a gift that makes her a target for the malevolent Spirit Mage, who seeks to use her power to resurrect an ancient and unstoppable force known as the Hollow King.
When her village is destroyed by the Mage's undead forces, Mira is forced to flee with a sentient skeleton who claims to be Alric of Vareth, a fallen hero with a shattered past. Together, they journey through a land haunted by restless spirits, uncovering forgotten truths about Mira's power, the Mage's dark ambitions, and the tragic history of the Hollow King. Along the way, they encounter allies like Ezra the Unmourned, a rogue necromancer with her own secrets, and enemies like the Herald, a monstrous entity that feeds on suffering.
As Mira learns to wield her abilities—not just to command the dead, but to free them—she must confront the Spirit Mage before he can use her as a vessel to unleash the Hollow King's eternal reign. The story blends gothic horror, tragic heroism, and dark magic, culminating in a battle of wills where Mira must choose between power and redemption.
