The Hollowborn Resonant

In a world where power defines worth, Kairan Vaelstrum is nothing.



Born into one of the most prestigious Resonant bloodlines, he was expected to awaken a Gift that would shape history. Instead, he had nothing. No power. No future. Cast aside by his family, abandoned by society, and reduced to a janitor in the very academy meant to train the strongest, he resigned himself to a life in the shadows.



Until the Hollows invaded.



They were never supposed to breach Celestia Academy. The barriers were impenetrable. The security was absolute. But when a creature of shifting darkness emerges from nowhere, Kairan is the first to see it. The first to be hunted.



And for the first time in his life—something inside him awakens.



The Hollow hesitates. It recognizes him.



As the world around him spirals into chaos, Kairan must uncover the truth: Why did the Hollow stop? Why does his body react to them? And why does the academy fear what he might become?



Because if Kairan is neither a Resonant nor a Hollow… which is impossible



Then is he something far worse than both?
