Some debts are paid in blood. Others follow you beyond death.

Dunmorrow, Maine. A secluded coastal town where the Atlantic fog never quite lifts, the locals still observe Samhain, and an old Irish inscription greets visitors: In 1827, Irish settlers crossed the ocean carrying something far older than their faith, their traditions, or their grief. They brought a king. For nearly two centuries, Dunmorrow has prospered under an ancient bargain. Every Samhain, an outsider is chosen. Every year, the town offers a life to the creature dwelling beyond the veil. And every year, the Hollow King accepts. Until now. You arrived in Dunmorrow knowing nothing of its bloody history. The welcoming smiles, the quaint streets, the comforting warmth of the local diner. None of it prepared you for the red thread, the midnight bells, or the antler-crowned figure waiting beyond your window. When the Hollow King refuses his offering, you find yourself trapped in his domain: a nightmarish reflection of Dunmorrow, where streets twist into impossible places, the dead whisper from abandoned houses, and the sea remembers every soul it has swallowed. Your only guide is the monster who was supposed to devour you.

Ancient, feral, and bound by a curse older than the town itself, the Hollow King is as dangerous as the things hunting you. He remembers every sacrifice. Every betrayal. Every name. And he has reasons for keeping you alive that even he may not fully understand. Uncover the truth behind Dunmorrow's founding. Survive the horrors of its decaying Otherworld. Navigate a town willing to murder to preserve its secrets.

And discover what happens when fear becomes fascination, fascination becomes desire, and the creature in the darkness begins to want something more than your blood. A Celtic folk-horror dark romance inspired by atmospheric psychological horror, ancient faerie mythology, and the sinister secrets of New England.

Beware the promises you make beneath the hollow moon.
