Hollow Crown of the Dying Star
The night Ren's mother died, the sky cracked open.
No one else saw it—just him. A fracture in the stars, spreading like shattered glass. And from that abyss, something looked back.
Then it spoke.
"Do you want to live?"
Now, Ren is no longer human. His reflection moves on its own. His eyes are black voids, writhing with unseen horrors. And the world around him is wrong—people stand frozen in the streets, their hollow smiles stretching too wide, whispering things that don’t belong in human mouths.
They are watching him.
Hunting him.
And the worst part?
A voice in his head keeps whispering that he belongs with them.
As Ren searches for answers, he’s forced into a brutal battle for survival against creatures that were once human—and something far worse lurking beyond the cracks in the sky. But the more he fights, the more he changes.
Is he still himself?
Or is he becoming the very thing he fears?
