Ashes of the Hollow

Every decade, someone finds the house that shouldn’t exist.



Seventeen-year-old Mira stumbles through a dying forest with no memory of how she got there, blood crusted on her legs and a name she hasn’t spoken in years. Chased by something ancient and cruel, she comes upon a mansion veiled in fog and shadows — a house not marked on any map, hidden where the sun no longer rises.



Drawn inside by a presence older than the forest itself, Mira discovers a place that is alive — shifting, watching, and full of forgotten echoes. The walls breathe. The portraits weep. Names appear where they shouldn’t. And deep below, something waits.



As Mira navigates its endless halls and haunting memories, she begins to uncover a grim cycle: the house is a prison that feeds on those who enter. Worse still, it knows her. It remembers what she did. And it intends to make her remember too.



*Ashes of the Hollow* is a dark, psychological gothic novel about memory, guilt, and the hunger of forgotten places. The house wants Mira — body, mind, and soul. The question is: what is she willing to lose to escape it?



Or is it already too late?
