Hounds of the Hollow Sky

 


https://amzn.to/4lpkEWQ


In the yawning canyons of Vurnhallow, a crimson wound in the sky—The Hollow Maw—spits forth bone-white hounds that devour memory, leaving their victims empty shells. Humanity’s last refuge, Fyrspire Bastion, clings to jagged cliffs, its seven noble houses fractured by fear and betrayal. When Captain Nerra Vek wakes to find her mentor, Orin Blankhand, stripped of his very name by a Vorrhound pack, she must piece together a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of the fortress itself.

As the Vorrhounds’ assaults grow more cunning—targeting elders, scholars, anyone who remembers the ancient rites—Nerra, her stalwart second Irien Korr, the haunted librarian Varran Holtmark, and the exile-seer Kelna the Shardborn race through ruined libraries, secret cult sanctums, and bone-chilled canyons to uncover the truth: the Hollow Maw is no mere rift in the sky but a hunger older than time.

Betrayal lurks within Fyrspire’s walls in the form of the Bone Choir, a fanatical sect convinced the Maw is divine rebirth. When their ritual shatters the seals that have held the Maw at bay for centuries, Nerra must make an unthinkable choice: sacrifice her own bloodline’s memories—or watch the world unravel into oblivion.

From the shattered market squares of the Bastion to the mist-haunted Abyss below, Hounds of the Hollow Sky delivers relentless dark fantasy action, jagged political intrigue, and a war for identity in a world where memory is the highest currency. Readers will follow Nerra’s brutal last stand on the ramparts, Orin’s tragic reclamation of self, and Kelna’s slippery dance on the edge of madness as each pays the ultimate price to seal the Maw—if only for a generation.

Perfect for fans of Richard K. Morgan’s grim intensity, Mark Lawrence’s unforgiving landscapes, and Joe Abercrombie’s morally jagged heroes, Krishna Prasanth Guttikonda’s debut novel weaves a vertical world of cliff-hanging fortresses, bone-scoured canyons, and bone-hunting beasts into a harrowing tale of sacrifice, legacy, and the war against oblivion itself.

Join the Daggercloaks. Learn what it means to stand against a darkness that devours more than flesh. Discover whether survival—and the faint spark of hope—can endure when every memory is under siege. In Vurnhallow, victory is survival, and survival demands a price no one can afford to pay—except those who have already lost everything.
