The Hollow Coil
Community Rating
Description
Orin Solvane has spent his life yearning for what everyone else takes for granted, magic. But his spells fizzle where others ignite, his potential capped before he ever had a chance to rise. His only hope lies in the Ascension Hunt, a sacred rite where people offer a creature’s core to a god in exchange for their divine blessing. Without one, he’ll be left behind in a world where the unblessed are little more than outcasts.
The hunt is supposed to be simple: kill, sacrifice, ascend.
But when things go wrong, when blood stains the earth, something else answers his call.
Not the gods he prayed to. Something older. Something that was watching.
His wounds close too quickly. His hunger deepens. And within his chest, a mark no one remembers constricts around his heart.
Now, pursued by forces he doesn’t understand, Orin must uncover the truth of what has bound itself to him, before it takes everything.Cover commissioned fromMorariuChristian-Mark.

- AlizarinRSRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Really promising start. I want mooore!!!!! Characters are well developed, plot is unique and grabbing, and the fight with ____(no spoilers!) was BADASS. I’m a sucker for good fight scenes and MC development, and this book start is getting me really excited. I also really like the unknown mysteries and am wondering the significance behind some of these clearly important experiences that the MC is going through but who is ignorant of the big picture atm.

It’s also great that you are releasing so many chapters to get everyone hooked. Smart move.
