Forensic artist Oblivia Marlowe, 26, has spent her life reconstructing the faces of the dead — while hiding what she is. The last Hollow. A woman who drains the power of anything she touches and becomes what she devours. Sealed as a child so she could pass as human.

But seals don't last forever.

It starts with the visions: a masked man with ice-blue blind eyes, standing at the foot of her bed. Every time he comes, her nose bleeds. Every time, the bleeding gets worse. He's not haunting her, she realizes. He's hatching something.

Then three men walk into the fracture: Lucien Vasari, a vampire who looks at her like he's been waiting centuries for exactly this. Saber Wilde, a shifter whose devotion comes with teeth. Knox Bennett, the detective on her case, who offers her the one thing no one else can — a place to be safe.

She's starving. She's fracturing. And the thing breaking her open from the inside has been inside her all along.

Oblivia Marlowe knows what's killing her: a glioblastoma growing behind her eyes — wearing the face of the masked man who haunted her visions. Amon isn't a ghost. He's her tumor, cracking her seal from the inside.

There's only one way out. She's the Hollow. She drains power and becomes what she devours.

So she starts eating it. Bite by bite.

But the hunger doesn't stop at the tumor. It wants everything — and the wendigo in the woods is about to teach her exactly what she's capable of becoming.

Lucien, Saber, and Knox stand with her — shelter, devotion, and appetite. Three men who refuse to be chosen between. But something older than all of them is waiting in the dark. And it knows her name.

Oblivia Marlowe made it through the fracture — barely. The seal is gone, the Hollow is awake, and the child growing inside her is drinking the fire straight out of her veins.

Unsealed was supposed to mean free. Instead it means hunted — by the hunger that's changing inside her, and by everything she was sealed away from in the first place.

Lucien would burn the world down for her. Saber would stand in the fire beside her. Knox would build her shelter out of his own bones.

But some things even three devoted men can't fight for her. Some things she has to devour herself.
