Maiden of the Hollow Path

The Revenant #1

by Shar Khan

Something dark has shaped the Marizad Palace and pulled Shahina Rukhezzi from exile. After spending eight years amongst the dwarven regime, the Paragon and Fifth Raja to the Lotus Throne has returned. A curse has touched the royal family, leaving the Great and Immortal Maharaj to stray upon his death bed.

In the seaport city of Stonegrave, Crogan Takahashi stands as the King of Lords. He rules over the War Table in a place forsaken and left to rot. With magicks that run rampant through his veins, he finds himself at the mercy of Shahina who searches for answers he's not willing to give so easily.

Yet as her presence pulls dark entities from their resting place in the Northern Province, Crogan learns there are things worse than death. As an ancient evil struggles to take the throne, he realizes Shahina might not be as bad as she seems.

Or so he thinks.

[Jessica Richters · Rating 5 out of 5]

Interesting story with some interesting characters! A very colorfully detailed plot that leaves a little bit of unknown and surprise around every corner, right up until the very end.

This is more of a personal preference, but with bigger and more intricate stories, like such, I like when there is a long indepth key describing not just characters, but job titles/royalty titles/important miscellaneous fantasy items.
I appreciate the key at the beginning of this story!

Crogan Takahashi from Maiden of the Hollow Path is demisexual!
