Meet Shortstraw, Bluebell, Loblolly, Primrose, Daylily, and Merle.
Five are ordinary teenagers living simple lives in the small town of Judson's Intercept, Ozark Mountains, Arkansas... 1975.
- ONE IS EXQUISITE -
The town is surrounded by woods on every side. Whispered rumors speak of an intriguing hollow -
- LORQUITHAI -
lying somewhere within those woods, and it's power protects the chosen guardians of a golden heart -
THE GOLDIES
The Hollow hides within steep, sheer walls of granite. Those who think they have wandered into its realm by chance are mistaken - for they have been invited by a great primitive authority to do so.
On the eastern border lies an enormous treefall that is said to have been created by the woods itself. It is purposed to protect the Hollow from a desolate land -
- THE DARKER PART -
wherein its boundary lingers timeless relics from an ancient era.
A foreboding sable scarlet heart brims over with assiduous malice, beats perpetually, and waits in dispassionate anticipation within a scarlet colored cavern for someone to break in and release its malicious lifeblood -
- THE SCARLET -
upon the earth.
Follow these heroes as they wander through a complex of bright and dim passages to learn the sacred, intriguing secrets of The Hollow, transforming themselves into the purest of Goldies... those who perennially strive to protect in a hopeful battle against The Scarlet, scarlets, and other stygian scarlet terrors issuing forth from the Darker Part.
