Description

In a world where ancient songs speak of heroes and hidden realms, a weary narrator recalls a place called the Hollow Land—an elusive sanctuary of roses, cool waves and whispering breezes that haunts his memory. He tells of his lineage in the House of the Lilies, of a lost love glimpsed there, and of the restless longing that drives him to search for this forgotten haven.

The peace of his family is shattered when Lady Swanhilda, a fierce widow, humiliates Florian's brother Amald during a royal procession, sparking a bitter feud between the Lilies and the house of Red Harald. Fueled by shame and a promise of vengeance, Florian is drawn into a dangerous game of swords and secret alliances, his fate intertwined with a mysterious figure named Arnald who appears in a midnight dream.

About the author

William Morris

William Morris

1834–1896

A central figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, this Victorian writer and designer brought the same love of beauty and workmanship to poems, stories, textiles, and books. His imagination helped shape modern fantasy, while his ideas about art and labor still feel strikingly modern.
