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.

1834–1896
A central figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, this English writer and designer brought medieval romance, social criticism, and a deep love of beauty into everything he made. His stories and poems still stand out for their rich imagination and their belief that art should belong in everyday life.
