Its mystery and the prospect of hidden history and treasure has many curious explorers venture into the earth in search of the hidden kingdom.

But when Carina hears the story from her great grandfather Cornifer, and goes to clean his home, she finds maps, charts, and drawings, depicting what she can only assume is the forgotten kingdom. And she cant wait to find it.

Tales of Hallownest: Light Knight - Part I
Amidst the silence of the howls of lamentation and storm, a naive effigy opposes the unknown in search of its roots, facing the secrets that submerge a kingdom in ruins. Tales of Hallownest is a collection of stories created and based on the 2017 platformer Hollow Knight, developed by Team Cherry, that expands and develops the discontinued stories of Hallownest's past, present, and future, bringing a wider comprehension of the universe around the kingdom. In Light Knight's first installment, we take on the role of a small masked wanderer awakened by an unknown distant call, roaming through a desolate kingdom in search of a new purpose to follow as he uncovers more about his past and origins to confront a familiar face. The first part is still being developed and can suffer adaptations and updates throughout its writing. I count on the help of public feedback to bring the best version of it, as I plan to make the other 2 parts, as well as the many follow-ups that begin from this one. Art is mine.

Heir to the Hollow
They say the Hollow is dead. But that's a lie. It breathes-slow and hungry-waiting beneath the earth for the ones it marked long ago. Here, trees bleed memories, shadows whisper names that were never spoken, and the wind hums lullabies only the cursed can hear. Ash was born of this darkness. Forged in it. Feared by it. A ruthless heir to something ancient, something twisted. The world calls him a monster-but monsters don't bleed the way he does. And Eira... she was never meant to find him. She should have died the moment she stepped into the Hollow. But the forest let her through. It wanted her. It whispered to her in dreams. Showed her lives she never lived. And now the Hollow is waking... because she carries something it remembers. Something it lost. An army of serpent-eyed creatures begins to stir beneath the ruined soil. A forgotten queen sharpens her claws from the other side of time. And secrets buried in blood and fire are clawing their way back to the surface. But not everything that returns wants to be found. And not every soul that loves you is trying to save you. Some are just waiting... for you to fall.Complete

The Fall of Hallownest
This novel depicts the full story of Hollow Knight in the perspectives of 5 different characters, which are represented in 5 long chapters. Many things in the Hollow Knight lore are very unclear, so we had to fictionalize some things. Please dont get mad because some events appear that are not 100% confirmed to be accurate. Im not Team Cherry. I dont have the lore bible. I dont work at ICE anymore. This isn't your typical fan fiction where everyone... ya know... does the nasty. This is a (mostly) lore accurate depiction of the Hollow Knight story (I hope. Could be dead-ass wrong tho). Like I said, we had to implement some of our own theories because many things aren't clear. Have fun reading and stuff. Also this should be obvious but Spoilers for the game Hollow KnightComplete
Irredeemable
Twelve. That was their name, or at least the closest thing they would ever receive. With the escape of every single vessel in the battle of the abyss, the Pale King had developed a plan to eliminate the survivors. He created dozens of "hunters" meant only to track down and kill their fellow vessels. Twelve was one of them. A few years after Hallownest fell to the infection, Twelve was able to break free of the white palace. In a world they were never intended to see, they must find their way, and learn how to survive all over again. As if it weren't enough, most vessels were never truly hollow. Twelve was no different, and now grapples with the horrible misdeeds of their time as a hunter. One thing is certain for them. They are not a hero. They may not be the villain anymore, but they are beyond redemption. And as always, this story is exclusive to Wattpad, and if it is seen on any other site, such as NovelHD for example, I didn't put it there.Complete
