The Hollow Crown of Blackmere

In the rain-soaked kingdom of Albion Mere, old magic is waking beneath the hills.

For centuries, the royal bloodline protected the realm from creatures buried beyond the northern marshes - twisted beings known only as the Hollowed. But after the mysterious death of the king, the ancient wards begin to fail, and strange disappearances spread across the countryside.

Eighteen-year-old Elias Thorne, the son of a disgraced knight from the bleak village of Blackmere, discovers he carries a forbidden gift: he can hear the voices of the dead.

When a hooded stranger arrives carrying secrets about Elias's family, he is drawn into a brutal struggle between corrupted nobles, hidden witches, forgotten gods, and a prophecy the kingdom tried to erase.

As war gathers across Albion Mere, Elias must decide whether to save the crown... or destroy it forever.

Dark, atmospheric, and deeply British in tone, The Hollow Crown of Blackmere blends ancient folklore, political intrigue, haunting magic, and emotionally driven characters in an epic fantasy saga about power, sacrifice, and the monsters hidden inside men.
