Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
The world of Al, Buck, and Nadia expands far beyond familiar ground in The Hollow Sea, as their latest case draws them to the remote islands off the coast of Australia. Locals speak in hushed tones of a cursed stretch of water, a wild expanse no one willingly crosses. The Hollow Sea has claimed ships, stories, and lives, and it does not forgive curiosity.
New arrival Scottie feels its pull immediately. Beneath the warnings lies the legend of Thordis, a woman who vanished long ago under mysterious circumstances. Her story mirrors parts of Scottie’s own past, and answers seem impossible to ignore. When she sets out across the Hollow Sea, she risks far more than the islanders admit.
At the same time, Sigil agents go missing while investigating a disturbance in their wards, forcing an apprentice to call in Al for help. What follows is a relentless chain of danger, revelations, and uneasy alliances, including the Iron Druid himself. As secrets surface, Al comes closer to uncovering the truth behind his own long standing curses, if the sea does not claim them first.
