The Gilled Hollow:: What Isolde Keeps
(2026)(The second book in the Hollow Bloodline series)
A novel by Hannah Ross
What happens when the most dangerous place you have ever been is also the most beautiful?
Vivienne Calloway survived a haunted estate, broke a three-century curse, and walked away with a vampire who loved her and a power she was still learning to trust. She thought the worst was behind her.
She had never been inside the Vauclaire.
Hidden in a city that appears on no map, governed by a woman of devastating elegance and three hundred years of absolute authority, the Vauclaire is everything it promises to be, breathtaking, welcoming, and utterly impossible to leave. Isolde de Vauclaire built this gilded city as a refuge for people whose gifts made them targets. She has protected them, housed them, and loved them in her way.
She has also never let a single one of them go.
When Vivienne and Sebastian cross the city's threshold at Isolde's cryptic invitation, they find something far more complex than an enemy and far more dangerous than a trap. They find Remy — a historian who has spent three months mapping a prison he cannot escape. They find Calla — a young woman born inside these gilded walls who has never once questioned whether she was allowed to leave. And beneath the palazzo's beautiful foundation, they find something ancient that has been quietly feeding on the city's most powerful residents for nearly two centuries.
Isolde did not build a cage. She built a collection.
The truth about what lives beneath the Vauclaire will force Vivienne to use her power in ways Ravensmoor never demanded, push Sebastian toward a reckoning with the woman who made him and nearly destroyed him, and ask every person inside these walls the one question the city was designed to make them forget:
"What would you choose, if you were finally free to choose?"
"The Gilded Hollow: What Isolde Keeps" is the spellbinding second novel in the Hollow Bloodline series — richer, darker, and more emotionally complex than its predecessor, delivering the gothic atmosphere, razor-edged tension, and deeply consuming romance that readers of the series have come to demand.
If a city this beautiful is asking you to stay, the only question worth asking is what it gets in return. Find out inside.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
