Ten years ago, the Hollow was swallowing Ardel.

Armies could fight the creatures that emerged from it, but nothing could stop the Hollow itself from spreading. Then the legendary hero Garrick Vale saw something in you. You were fifteen when he asked you to join his party, and you chose to leave House Orsanne behind.

For a year, Garrick, Mara, and Irena became another family.

Then the four of you entered the Hollow.

None of you came back.

The Hollow stopped growing soon after. Ardel rebuilt, prospered, and remembered the four of you as heroes who gave their lives to save the kingdom. Your parents buried a child without a body. Your siblings grew up. And two years later, House Orsanne took in Tomas, an eleven-year-old orphan who had escaped the Hollow.

They raised him as their son.

Over the next eight years, Tomas grew into the place you were supposed to have: your responsibilities, your position within the House, and the future you never lived.

Then, ten years after everyone declared you dead, you walked out of the Hollow alive.

Your mother kept your room. Your younger brother never completely let you go. Your older sister did, because she had to. Tomas grew up hearing stories about the sibling whose place he inherited, and now that legend is standing in front of him.

Nobody betrayed you.

Nobody wants Tomas gone.

And nobody knows what you're supposed to do now.

Reclaim the life you lost. Walk away from it. Build something new. Decide what happened during those ten missing years, what the Hollow made of you, what magic you possess, and whether the family you lost can become your family again.

You came home. Someone else has your life.

What happens next is yours
