Of Hollowed Stars

by Rowyn Adelaide

Captivating, addictive, and action-packed—Of Hollowed Stars draws readers back into an enchanted world where cursed bloodlines, scheming gods, and star-crossed bonds collide in a battle for the realm's very soul. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Carissa Broadbent, Raven Kennedy, and LJ Andrews.

Nightmares Echo.

When Gavrel vanishes into the twisted depths of the Nether Void, Seryn has no time to grieve. While dreams blur into nightmares and ancient power stirs within her, she unravels a prophecy rooted in her bloodline. Part demi-Ancient, part Nightshade, she may be the key to restoring—or destroying—the balance between realms.

Souls Align.

Though their souls are bound by a golden thread, even fate-woven ties can fray. With the Fates tightening their grip, Seryn and Gavrel face the truth of their bond: prophecy or choice, sacrifice or salvation. Together, they'll forge a path unwritten by the stars … and hope their love can endure the Void.

Stars Collide.

Across shifting nightmare-scapes and corrupted cities, Seryn must gather unlikely allies, awaken celestial magic, and confront the Ancient of Nightmares before the aether claims them. And in the chaos of colliding stars, she'll risk everything to save a world already slipping into the darkness beyond.

Don't miss the breathtaking finale of the first trilogy in the Fate of the Embered series—a spellbinding tale of passion, peril, and profound sacrifice—where only the fiercest hearts endure the price of destiny.

About the author

Rowyn Adelaide is an insatiable romance reader, advanced practice MSW social worker, and the author of the Fate of the Embered series. Her debut novel, Of Withering Dreams, launched the dark fantasy romance series with a haunting blend of passion and peril. Her work fuses atmospheric world-building with emotionally driven romance, often exploring themes of transformation, angst, and resilience. When she’s not writing or devouring stacks of romance novels, she’s usually globe-trotting, rocking out at concerts, counting down to spooky season, or singing karaoke (very poorly). She lives in the Midwest with her favorite creatures: her husband, their dog Audrey Shepburn (aka the goodest girl that ever lived), and their chaotic cat Stormy, who is equal parts villain and sidekick.

I was on the edge of my seat with this one!! Seryn follows Gavrel to the Nether Void as he sacrificed himself to save her. On her journey she finds out more of her past, who her father is, finding out she's a part demi-ancient and part nightshade
Together, Seryn and Gavrel go through many challenges, fighting monsters and ancients.
This was a thrilling ending of this trilogy! I loved everything about it. High stakes, fast paced, twists and turns! I loved how Rowyn made this into a trilogy and didn't try to extend it unnecessarily like some other authors out there. I cant wait to add this book to my shelf beside her other 2 books!

Just finished my arc and wow every single book in this series has not disappointed me at all. Ugh I can’t get enough of Seryn and Gavrel story and the beautiful bonds formed as each book progressed, and the plot is way too good to ever put the book down!!!! I absolutely loved this book and to see the strength from Seryn character was truly amazing, but the love and devotion with her and gavrel was truly beautiful.!!!

This series has not disappointed with each book it gets better and better. Seryn and Gavrel have stolen my heart since the first book. Their chemistry, bond, love and loyalty to each other has grown so beautifully throughout their journey. The plot was a chef’s kiss and always kept me hooked and waiting to see what was to come next. Definitely recommend this series.

I have loved this series from the very beginning and Of Hollowed Stars was the perfect end to it.
There are ups and downs. Twists and turns. And a rollercoaster of emotions that carry you through the journey as it comes to an end. Thank you Rowyn for introducing me to this amazing world. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.
