THE HOLLOW WOLF

Every village keeps one lie in the well. Corvin Ash is paid to draw it up.

Corvin is a Warden of the Salt Keep, a mutated monster-slayer who hunts the things that hide in the Sundered Marches. He works for coin and gets suspicion in return. When the bog village of Duskhollow hires him to kill a creature draining its people, he finds the monster was made by the villagers themselves. A gray-robed stranger arrived during the blight and told them the land was owed a life.

Corvin can't kill what the village has done to itself. He follows the stranger's trail south along the Salt Road with his stubborn mule Grudge and his old mentor Sorrel Vane. Every step reveals more of a conspiracy that stretches from the smallest hollow in the Marches to the Salt Keep. Wardens are dying, hearts are being harvested, and someone is being paid twice, once to make the monsters and again to have them killed.

Some truths are worse than any monster, and Corvin's own past is one of them.

The Hollow Wolf is a dark, atmospheric fantasy of monster hunts, moral compromise, and hard choices. Fans of The Witcher and gritty, folklore-driven fantasy will find plenty to enjoy.
