The Hollow War

A Reverse Harem Fae Romance

By: Vesper Wolfe

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I carried two seasons of magic no one had ever held before. Then the ancient wound beneath my court woke up… and came straight for me.

The cage shattered. The entity that was trapped inside it for two centuries is free, traveling through the root channels beneath my court like an open road, and it will surface through the floor of my own Hearthall in hours.

Four bonded fae lords stand with me. A fire-forger whose old destruction built the road the enemy follows. An empath holding my two warring seasons apart with nothing but precision and willpower — and he is breaking. A beast-lord defending a perimeter that cannot hold. A prophet bleeding from both nostrils every time he pushes past the wall between now and what comes next.

And from the east — the Winter Queen. Marching with two hundred soldiers and a weapon designed to trap me inside a cage of her own making. Permanently.

I was supposed to be their salvation. Instead I am the thing every army on this continent is marching toward.

But the prophet saw something no one expected. The ancient darkness is not an enemy. It is a wound — the torn edge where the seasons were ripped apart — and it has been screaming for someone to make it stop hurting since before the courts existed.

Caging it means becoming the next woman who holds the wound shut from inside. Alone. For centuries.

Healing it means pouring myself through the roots of the world and becoming the bond that knits the seasons back together. It means dissolving into the land.

Both paths end with me gone.

Unless four bonds made of thorns and Hearthblood and two hundred years of guilt can reach past a white threshold that even prophecy cannot see beyond — and pull me back.
