One gave up his soul to save a dying mother. The other summoned something she didn’t believe was real. Neither knew their choices would ignite a prophecy meant to tear the world apart. Damon has been a Reaper for three years—walking the line between life and death, severing soul from body with calculated ease. He made his choice to buy time, not destiny. Not fate. Hope just wanted to prove her bravery to her friends. A harmless round of Bloody Mary in a dark bathroom at a college party. But the mirror cracked. The candle went out. And something reached through the glass and pulled her into a world ruled by monsters, madness, and a Challenge no human is meant to survive. When Damon finds Hope—alive when she should be long dead—their paths collide with a prophecy older than the gods themselves. One that marks them as soul-bound catalysts, destined to either end the Hollow… or be devoured by it.
