Nom is a cynical wanderer, living on the fringes of a dying world, until a group of strangers offers him a chance to redeem his past and save the future. The Hollow, a realm of darkness and horror, threatens to swallow everything he holds dear, and the key to stopping it lies in Rabidi, the fallen capital of his youth. But to get there, they must journey through a wasteland of twisted magic and merciless enemies, haunted by ghosts and hunted by zealots. As they struggle to survive and unravel the secrets of the Hollow, Nom and his companions discover a sinister force that seeks to harness its power for their own twisted purposes. Will they be able to stop them in time, or will they succumb to the darkness within?

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
