Truth of the Hollow
(2025)(The third book in the Stag and Hollow Chronicles series)
A novel by Gem L Preston
Truth of the Hollow is the explosive conclusion to the complete Stag and Hollow Chronicles trilogy, following Prince of the Ancients and Queen of the Exiled.
If you love star-crossed devotion, dragon shifters at war, devastating betrayals, mental health representation, powerful feminine resilience, and found family that will break your heart before healing it, this epic romantic fantasy finale delivers a hard-won, emotionally satisfying ending.
Sequel to the bestselling Queen of the Exiled, Truth of the Hollow concludes Eliana and Dracho’s journey.
Who will survive at the end of it all?
Eliana is no longer the girl she once was. Hardened by loss and crowned in responsibility, she leads a fractured alliance against the Hollow — an ancient force of unspeakable power threatening to devour everything in its path.
At her side stands Dracho, the draconi prince fighting to unite his kind, and Antares, a warrior whose guarded heart hides unwavering loyalty.
But as they prepare for their final stand, betrayal strikes at the core of their alliance — nearly costing lives and shattering what little trust remains. Fear spreads. Doubt fractures their ranks. And the weight of war presses down on every choice they make.
Then Eliana uncovers a truth that changes everything.
A mysterious connection to the Hollow itself.
And the terrifying possibility that the line between saviour and destroyer has always been thinner than she believed.
Can she unite her people in time?
Can love survive the cost of destiny?
Or will division and sacrifice tear their world apart?
In a story of unbreakable friendships, devastating loss, dragon-fire fury, and a love powerful enough to burn the stars, Eliana and Dracho must risk everything for a future that may never come.
