In a castle wrapped in velvet lies and golden illusions, Princess Maelyrra lives a life most would envy - adored, protected, and promised to a throne. But perfection is a prison, and Maelyrra is beginning to see the cracks.
When strange dreams blur into waking visions and shadows whisper truths no one dares speak, Maelyrra must decide: stay safe within the story written for her... or tear down the illusion and face the world waiting beyond it.
But some lies are woven into the very fabric of reality - and unravelling them might cost her everything.
A haunting, lyrical tale of identity, deception, and quiet rebellion, The Hollow Heir is the first in a stunning fantasy series where nothing is as it seems - not even the girl who was born to rule.

Ren is a quiet teen in a small New Zealand town. He just wants to finish school, avoid the local bullies and maybe tell his best friend how he feels. But one blistering summer day he bursts into flames and emerges as the Sun God's champion: a radiant, female warrior. For generations, the Phoenix's power has passed through the women of his family, so his grandmother is as shocked as he is when it chooses a boy. As Ren struggles to control fire, wings and teleportation, strange phenomena - frozen lakes in summer, earthquakes that seem to think - signal that the world is unraveling. Ancient enemies known as the Shadows of the Eclipse feed on chaos and are awakening. Torn between hiding in his hoodie and facing a destiny he never wanted, Ren must decide who he is, what he will fight for and whether to trust the boy who's always been by his side.

Cursed at birth and bound to shadows, Belladonna Thornweave walks the world as the feared Obsidian Witch.

But against horrors born from both, even rivals must stand side by side. In their fragile alliance lies hope... and the risk of a bond deeper than destiny itself. Because the greatest danger is not that they will destroy each other- but that they might understand one another.
