Making matters worse are the two strange men responsible for the carnage. They want The Seals of Abgal and insist Sebastian is in possession of it.
As he tries to stay alive, Sebastian discovers The Seals of Abgal is far more than just an ordinary grimoire for it holds powerful secrets. Secrets that are older than time itself, and these men searching for it are no ordinary thugs.

The Hollow Crown
In the city of Veilrest, where shadows breathe and nightmares walk, power is a curse disguised as a gift. The once-glorious kingdom has been rotting from within, its throne left vacant after the royal bloodline was slaughtered in the dark of a moonless night. Now, the land festers under the rule of a nameless tyrant-one whose face is never seen, only felt in the whispers of the cursed and the screams of the vanished. Kastor Veyne never wanted to be a hero. With a metal-forged leg replacing what was lost to Veilrest's cruelty, he's learned that survival is the closest thing to victory. But when a prophecy names him as the rightful heir to the Hollow Crown, he's dragged into a war of monsters and gods-one he never asked to fight. By his side is Silas, a rogue with ink-stained hands and secrets older than the kingdom itself, and Lysara, a necromancer with a grudge against the living and an even greater hatred for fate. As Kastor unearths the city's buried horrors, he discovers that the Hollow Crown is not a throne-it's a prison. And the only way to break free might be to embrace the darkness he's spent his whole life running from. But power always comes with a price. And Kastor is about to learn what it means to lose everything.Complete

the rise of the void
After their victory at the Temple of Elarion, the guardians are celebrated as heroes, but they know the threat of the Void is far from over. The dark leader's ominous words echo in their minds, spurring them to uncover more about this looming menace. As they study the tome and consult with scholars and sages, they learn that the Void is an ancient, primordial force of chaos and entropy, intent on unbalancing the world and consuming its light. The guardians' quest takes them across diverse and dangerous lands. They seek out hidden archives, long-forgotten temples, and wise hermits, each revealing pieces of a larger puzzle. They learn that the Void can be temporarily repelled but never fully destroyed, as it is a natural counterpart to the light. However, there are ways to maintain the balance, ensuring that neither side gains dominance. Their journey is fraught with peril as the Void's influence begins to manifest more visibly, corrupting nature, warping creatures, and drawing in those who seek power.
