A tale of lost kings, fractured empires, and the war that time could not erase.

The war was never truly over. It only paused, waiting for the man who had started it to return.

Aedric was never meant to be king. He fought for a throne that did not belong to him, reclaimed a kingdom that had already abandoned its ruler, and waged a war against an enemy he could not name. But when the Hollow—a city that should not exist—begins to stir, he realizes that history has been chasing him far longer than he has been chasing his crown.

There, buried beneath ruins that do not crumble, lies the truth.

Aedric was not exiled. He fled.

Not from war. Not from his enemies.

From himself.

Now, the past is waking. The war that was never won demands to be finished. The throne is waiting for its king, but the choice is not as simple as ruling or surrendering. Because to reclaim what was lost, Aedric must confront the part of himself he once tore away.

But some things are meant to stay buried.

And the Hollow does not give without taking.
