Axel Hawke is a hardened survivor and the unchallenged leader of the Hollow Fangs, a mercenary company that holds Hollowed Grounds in its iron grip. Owner of the Hollow Fang Tavern, Axel rules from the shadows, a man whose authority is as unspoken as it is absolute. With silver-streaked hair, piercing brown eyes, and a presence that commands attention, Axel exudes a rugged sophistication sharpened by decades of survival.

Marked by crude glowing tattoos, his body houses a dangerous magic implant—a tool that grants him devastating power at the cost of his own flesh. Each spell sears him, leaving scars both seen and unseen, yet Axel endures, driven by an unrelenting will. Calculating, pragmatic, and loyal only to those who’ve earned it, Axel keeps his own demons at bay while holding the Forsaken Lands’ chaos under control.

In a lawless world, Axel Hawke is the last name you want to cross—and the first you look to when survival hangs by a thread.

“What are you going to do with this second chance?”
