THE HOLLOW

  • They told him the Hollow was forever.

    They weren’t kidding.

    When fourteen-year-old Lucas Hale wakes up on a domed island full of sword-wielding guards, the rules are already written—and survival isn’t guaranteed. Students disappear, questions get you noticed, and no one seems to care how any of it actually works. The guards call it discipline. The survivors call it luck. Most kids treat this place as some kind of twisted summer camp. Lucas can’t shake the feeling that it’s a trap.

    But he isn’t like the others. He doesn’t remember how he got here, and he’s already behind on whatever “training” he’s supposed to be doing. The deeper he digs, the more he realizes: the Hollow isn’t just weird. It’s hiding something. It’s watching. And it wants something from him.

    Because here, magic isn’t the only thing that wants to break you.

    And Lucas? He’s not planning on breaking quietly.

  • A new year. A new threat. And this time, the danger isn’t lurking in the shadows—it’s standing at the front of the classroom.

    Lucas Hale knew surviving his first year in the Hollow was a miracle. Surviving the second might be impossible. Classes are monitored by Arsenal guards, races are canceled, and Lucas—now editor of the Drekorn Post—is expected to pretend everything is normal.

    Except nothing is normal. Not the ghost, only he can see. Not the secrets buried in his DNA. And definitely not the fact that the Hollow has been waiting for him long before he ever arrived.

    So Lucas does the one thing no sane person would attempt: he enters the Nest to take back the freedom he’s never truly had. And what he finds inside will cost him more than answers. It might cost him the one thing the Hollow has wanted since the beginning.

    His soul.

REVIEWS

  • "A brutal, eerie, edge-of-your-seat read where nothing is what it seems, and the island itself feels like it’s alive."

    —Amanda, Goodreads

  • "I have fallen in love with this school and these characters. It was like living in this magical world. I was cheering Luke on and feeling my heart break along with him. I got so caught up in it that I didn't realize that I was on the last page! I am having withdrawals from The Hollow now! 5 stars!!"

    —T. Kolb, Goodreads

  • "The suspense had me hooked from the very first page — I couldn’t stop wondering who to trust and what was really going on. Drekorn Hall felt immensely alive and unpredictable, and I adored Lucas as a brave, smart protagonist. The friendships, rivalries, and hidden agendas made everything more intense. If you love dark fantasy, mysterious schools, and secrets at every turn, The Hollow is a must-read!"

    —RASHIMI, Goodreads
