Publisher's Summary

The Hollow is dying.

Beset by nightmarish creatures from the caverns below, Jason’s tribe is slowly being whittled away. Only a brave few still stand against the darkness.

Jason dreams of joining the glorious Shadowfront and battling the enemy known only as the Void. But, as a lowly Pastfinder, he is denied that path and forced to serve as little more than a glorified scavenger.

It is only when he chances upon the ruins of a long dead civilization that his fortunes change. Jason discovers a forgotten form of cultivation, one fueled by the ghosts of centuries-lost history and powerful, forbidden knowledge.

For the first time in his life, Jason has the strength to join the fight against the shadows.

But, if his fellow tribesmen learn of his new power's cursed origins, the Void will be the least of his concerns....

Inspired by the worlds of Xianxia and Wuxia, Julian Gyll brings a fresh, western fantasy take on the burgeoning cultivation genre.

Written for KU

This book was clearly written for kindle unlimited where the author is paid by page read instead of book purchase. The MC repeats his motivation for everything before reviewing his motivation before going over his reason for doing things. It takes 150 pages to tell 30 pages of well written content. The story is decent and the writing isn’t bad but the fact that it is filled with skimmable filler just to increase page count for the authors profits really detracts from the experience. I listened to it on audible and it took me 9 months to listen to the whole thing with multiple points where I dropped it to find another book. I finally finished it but I am not going to be reading the sequel despite the fact that the story itself is interesting and I would definitely continue if I hadn’t spent so mush time yelling ant the author to get on with the story.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
