The Hollow: At The Edge - The Hollow, #2

"Well, Fresh Meat, welcome to the Hounds. Don't get comfortable. I expect your stay to be short and messy, with a bloody end."In the continuation of "The Hollow", a rebellion has broken out in the mysterious and magical land of Elsbareth, known by most as the Faelands. Serrel Hawthorne, newly trained battlemage in the Imperial Legion, finds himself separated from his fellow trainees and on the way to a war alongside a group of battle hardened soldiers who mildly detest him, a sergeant who hates him, and two dogs that just might eat him.
And the least said about the man called Dogbreath, the better. The Faelands were always known as the home of elves and strange beasts. But no one is prepared for what's waiting for the Legion across the sea. Surviving his squadmates is only the start. Here there are real monsters, things that should not be. And soon Serrel has to face up to what he must do, and what he must become to not only survive the coming battles, but save the people he cares about.
It will take all his skill at spellcasting, and that might not be enough. And through it all, the Hollow waits within.
