From the Amazon.com and Wall Street Journal #1 bestselling authors of the Zodiac Academy series Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti.
Don’t listen to the whispers of the woods.
Don’t trust the man cloaked in shadow.
Don’t earn the wrath of the scattered spirits.
Don’t go out after dark.
The Great Hunt begins once every fifty years and only the Champions willing to face death to shatter the curse dare to enter.
The Champions…and me.
I’m no warrior, no swordsmith, and certainly no Fae, but the forest is my only hope. To enter those trees is to walk willingly to my demise. But I need the boon the forest will grant the winner and I’m willing to risk it all for a chance at claiming it.
I just never expected to face him beneath those trees. The beast who strikes fear into the desperate people of all lands. The monster who commands the legion of Hollows and makes our plight a thousand times worse.
The Hollows are empty of all things but none are so heartless as him.
Prince Bane intends to be the death of me. But I have an oath to fulfil before I’ll let him have me. And I’ll do whatever it takes to achieve it.
I am Ferris Creed and I’m going to unite the lost spirits who once bound the wandering trees in place, return the scattered amulets to the core of its corruption, and use the winner’s boon to change my fate. Come wretchedness or torment, through trickery and deception, I will get what I came here for. And no one will stand in my way. Not even Prince Bane.
*** Hollow is a dark Romantasy from the bestselling authors of Zodiac Academy, Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. It is a heady cocktail of Summoners, seduction and spirits, set to get your heart racing and feet kicking. There will be a ruinous, black hearted love interest, a rebellious, ruthless FMC, plot twists, cliff hangers, dark humour and a healthy seasoning of make-you-blush spice. It is not for the faint of heart. All those who enter the forest are bound by its terms – will you walk willingly into the dark? ***
The series
Every fifty years the forest awakens, calling challengers into its shadows to take part in the Great Hunt. To most, it is a deadly contest whispered about in fireside tales. To Ferris Creed, it is the only chance to reclaim the life stolen from her. She has no army, no noble blood, and no fae power to shield her. What she carries instead is a sharp mind, restless courage, and the will to outwit a world that thrives on cruelty.
Read full series description
The Hunt is not a game to be outpaced. Spirits stir in the hollows, old magic clings to scattered relics, and the forest itself shifts like a living labyrinth. At its heart stands Prince Bane, a figure woven of shadow and menace, leading the Hollows with ruthless precision. To face him is to risk not just death but the pull of something darker, a spark of temptation tangled with peril.
This series thrives on tension, walking the line between survival and surrender, betrayal and devotion, freedom and ruin. The world feels alive, filled with spirits that bargain, forests that devour, and alliances that can fracture with a single whispered vow. What begins as a fight for survival twists into a story of desire and defiance, where victory demands sacrifice and every heart is a weapon waiting to be turned.
The Crown of Hearts and Chaos is not a tale of gentle magic. It is raw, seductive, and treacherous, a romantasy where danger sharpens every moment and love may prove the most dangerous gamble of all.
