THE WANDERERS · The Hollow of Horian

In a world where light burns and shadows breathe, love and loss walk hand in hand.
As Gabriel’s journey leads him to the island of Samoara and the father he never knew, the line between the living and the damned blurs — and the price of truth becomes unbearable.

Accompanied by a small band of friends, Gabriel and Casper finally reached the Celestial Plains.
After their ordeal in the enchanted city, they were joined for a time by a lone watchman named Eadwulf. To Robert’s shock, the newcomer was a Corpusoid — a being unable to bear the light of day, travelling only beneath the cover of night.

Only after Robert’s return from the land of the dead, when he revealed his long-kept secret to Gabriel, did the travellers cross into the world of the Corpusoids. There they encountered kind-hearted desert dwellers who spoke in a strange tongue — one that only Gabriel could understand. Upon meeting Keya and entering her city, they realised the truth: the inhabitants were a race of vampires.

Robert stole a sailing vessel to escape the bloodthirsty beings, but soon after, he fell gravely ill. The fight for his life began. Days later, the group discovered a tribe living in wooden huts built high among the trees. Robert’s illness worsened until the tribesmen decided he must die. Determined to save him, Casper and Gabriel set out on a desperate search for help.

Through countless trials, Gabriel learned of the great war raging on the island of Samoara — a battle between sorcerers and werewolves. There, by chance, he met his father, Horian. Yet their perilous journey came to an abrupt end with the unexpected death of one of their own.
