The Hollow March
By Krishna Prasanth Guttikonda
Dark Epic Fantasy Death-Reaving Necropolis Adventure

In the death-ridden wastes of the Bleakbone Expanse, the wind doesn’t carry dust—it carries whispers. Whispers of warlords whose bones still thirst for conquest. Whispers of oaths long broken and bloodlines cursed. At the heart of this haunted desert lies Goremark, the necropolis-city built upon the remains of ten thousand years of war, ruled not by the living, but by the dead.

Karnak Valeborn is a mercenary captain bound by an ancestral death-oath and cursed to carry the skull of a forgotten king. Haunted by sins not entirely his own, he seeks to destroy the cursed relic and free himself from a legacy that refuses to die. But Goremark is not a place where the dead stay buried.

Drawn by visions carved into bone, Vorynne Ashveil—a marrow-seer who can scribe death-prophecies—journeys to the ruins, hoping to end the silence between her and the brother she lost to the necrotide cults. Together, they cross the salt-crusted wastes where buried siege engines still pulse with unholy energy and where cursed windstorms, the Marrow Howls, sing dirges in forgotten tongues.

Ilthra Gorrion, a necro-magus of terrifying ambition, seeks the fabled Crown of the Hollow King—a relic that can command death itself. When she unseals the Ash Vault of Xherak Nine-Graves, an ancient warlord rises at her command, and the Marrow Host—a skeletal legion forged from marrowsteel and cursed memories—marches again.

As the siege of Goremark begins, old enemies unite. Durnic Halvek, a fallen knight hunted by his own order; Vaesha Thornstoke, a blood-smith forging weapons from marrow and memory; and the spectral Hollow Choir, priestesses of death's oldest hymns—all must stand against a rising tide of necromancy that threatens not just the desert, but the fate of death itself.

The Hollow March is a sweeping, brutal epic of ancestral oaths, sacrilegious magic, and death turned into weapon and worship. It explores what it means to inherit war, to defy prophecy, and to confront a world where death is not an end—but a beginning.

From the author of The Hollow Star and The Bone-Sealed Pact, this dark necropolitan fantasy blends the grit of sword-and-sorcery with the grandeur of epic myth. Every chapter digs deeper into a land of bone towers, blood-runes, and cursed destiny—crafted for fans of grimdark, death magic, and tales that don’t flinch from the cost of salvation.

The dead march. The bone-winds rise. And those who survive will find that some legacies refuse to die quietly.
