A hunter by the name of Theodore Barclay carries the "Hollow's curse" since his birth, granting him hair grey as ash, deep crimson eyes that mirror hellfire, and the inability to feel any emotions. He spends his days as a cold-blooded killer for hire, constantly wondering if he's any different from the monsters he's been sent to hunt down.

However, a fated encounter with an enigmatic magician convinces him that a remedy to his curse and thus his mission to become a "true human" is by an arm's reach. But to retrieve it, he must partake in a witch hunt for an ancient vampire queen, who has awakened from her imprisonment to enact her conquest of a great province.All Rights Reserved

The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both.
