On Earth, Ruth Hartman is nothing more than a name on a missing poster, her mother begging for answers, her classmates whispering rumors. But in Hell, Ruth fights to reclaim the one thing Brink tore away-her body. Trapped in a ghostly form and tethered to her companions, she must push deeper into the shifting underworld where every path leads to betrayal, illusion, or death.
With Lu at her side-haunted by his past and shadowed by his twin-Ruth and the others embark on a desperate hunt across Hell's cities, borderlands, and war-torn wastes. Each step forward brings them closer to Brink, yet also closer to the prophecy that marks Ruth as something far more dangerous than just another lost soul.
Meanwhile, Earth is stirring. The silhouette she left behind, the cults forming in the shadows, and the strange symbols cropping up around town all point to a terrifying truth: Ruth's disappearance wasn't the end of the story, it was the beginning.

The Hollow Pact
When Ren Holloway, a fiercely independent and slightly chaotic high school junior, stumbles across a hidden ritual in the woods outside her sleepy town, she accidentally becomes bonded to a forgotten creature of the Veil - an ancient plane between life and death. Now cursed (or blessed?) with abilities no one should have - like glimpsing past traumas through touch, sensing when something isn't alive, and sometimes... speaking with things that shouldn't speak - Ren is caught in a centuries-old battle between supernatural forces that have been feeding off her town for generations. The pact is unstable. The creature wants freedom. And something else wants her dead before she figures out why the Veil is thinning - and who caused it. 🧍♀️ Main Character: Ren Holloway Personality: Hyper-observant, sarcastic under pressure, uses humor to deflect. Doesn't trust easily. Background: Lost her brother under mysterious circumstances years ago; she's been "the weird girl" ever since. No one believes her when she says the forest is wrong. Skills: Not magical, but freakishly good at puzzles, rituals, languages, and uncovering secrets. Flaws: Impulsive, emotionally repressed, tends to push people away to avoid being hurt. 🐚 The Entity: "The Hollow One" Ren calls it "Echo" (sarcastically at first, but it sticks). A shapeless, ancient being bound to her soul - once a guardian, now corrupted. Speaks in whispers only she can hear. Doesn't understand humanity but is curious about Ren. Not necessarily evil, but extremely morally gray. Feeds on fear and memory. Slowly begins to regain pieces of its identity through Ren's actions.Complete
