Defenders of Myth: The Hollows
Kalend and Hollilea race against time to rescue their captured friend. Their quest leads them deep into cursed forests and forgotten ruins, where myths and legends are awakening—and not all of them are friendly.
As they uncover the location of the True Source's hidden sanctuary, brother and sister discover their destiny runs deeper than they imagined. They must protect not just one world, but guard the gateway between realms where ancient powers slumber.
But the Warlocks and their mysterious Master are closing in, determined to unleash an army that once nearly destroyed civilization. With werewolves, guardian spirits, and beings from beyond their world emerging from the shadows, Kalend and Hollilea must forge unlikely alliances to survive.
The cost of failure? The awakening of an ancient evil that even the gods fear.

Not the end of the tale but I won't be reading any further books. Didn't buy this as YAF but judging by some of the content I think it is. Some frustrating grammatical errors and spelling mistakes ( even one of the characters' names changes spelling!!!). Not good at all.

A couple of the supposed allies I'm not sure I trust. I'm also fairly sure a certain character isn't dead

Can Light Always Win By Twos It Can
The author has truly created a unique situation where our characters are no longer bound to this world We now inhabit everywhere.
