About

In Velhollow, corruption does not kill you. It empties you, quietly, from the inside, until there is no light left in the darkness where a person used to be. A year ago, the Order of the Fading Light, the one order sworn to hold that darkness back, tore itself apart from within. Nisha is one of the few who walked away: a young knight still wearing a dead order's colors, cursed with a memory she cannot switch off, and carrying questions that the people who could answer them keep dying before they can. She did not set out to find allies. She found them anyway. Eloni, a seven-foot elf-orc bounty hunter who is only ever sure of herself with an axe in her hands. Bella, a wood elf druid who has spent seventy-nine years learning to read the rot beneath the world, and the wolf at her side who carries no such worries. Three strangers, three reasons to be at the end of the road, bound together by the same grim work and the slow realization that it is all connected. The blight in the soil. The things clawing up out of old graves. A war gathering at the edges of the map. And something older and patient underneath it all, pulling quietly at threads no one knew were there. The dark is remembering its way back in. They are what stands in the way.
