Legacy of the Hollow
Twenty years after the First Gate tore open the sky, Earth is no longer whole. Across the wastelands beyond Edgewater City, monstrous beings known as the Hollow roam through scars left by collapsing portals. Entire districts have been swallowed. Entire bloodlines erased. Most people survive. The lucky ones awaken. When a strange black crystal fuses with Alex Ryder’s body during a scavenging run in the Badlands, something ancient stirs within him — a Shadow Core thought to be extinct. The world believes the Eternal Shadow Clan was wiped from history. It was wrong. As Alex struggles to control a power that moves before he does, he’s pulled into the brutal hierarchy of the Awakened — a world of academies, rivalries, political manipulation, and escalating Hollow incursions. But the Hollow are changing. They are watching. And someone high above the Badlands has already taken notice. As secrets buried in forbidden archives resurface, Alex learns a terrifying truth: the war between realms was never truly won — it was sealed. And seals can break. To survive, he must master his self-created battle art, Shadow Flow, outmaneuver elite Awakened rivals, and uncover why the Hollow fear his bloodline. But power demands balance. And some legacies demand sacrifice. Because when the final Gate opens, only one truth will remain: The last shadow must choose between saving the world… or losing the one person who makes it worth saving.
