Power does not return with fanfare. It returns quietly - wearing another name.

Eliza Caerwyn is the ghost of a noble house no one speaks of. A girl with no status, no fortune, and no place in the empire's war for succession. But when a feared duke bends the knee to her in the middle of a storm, the court begins to whisper.

Whispers, after all, are how empires fall.

And this time, someone is listening.

A story of loyalty bought in blood, revenge buried in memory, and a crown that waits not for the strongest - but the one who remembers how it was stolen.

The Fifth Hollow | The Veylore Academy Saga

8 parts Ongoing Mature

They said the Obsidian Circle doesn't recruit. It consumes. Veylore University isn't a school-it's a shrine built for monsters who wear crowns. The Sovereigns rule it. Their bloodlines write the laws, their secrets write the punishments. And I'm the mistake they let in. My name is Elowen Sinclair. Daughter of Dovemere-on paper. But blood doesn't lie, and mine hums with something older, something that should've died with the Fifth House: Caldrith. Now the heirs of the Circle-Ashthorne, Gravemire, Edevane-are circling like vultures. One wants to control me. One wants to break me. One wants to ruin me until I beg for more. They think they can bind me. They forget-I was born for the bindings. Every secret has a cost. Mine demanded everything. The Fifth Hollow - a dark academia gothic romance where love isn't gentle, devotion is punishment, and power tastes like blood.
