The Bloom of Hollow Hill by Dionis Kuliev is a haunting tale of folklore, sacrifice, and the dark roots of immortality.
When nineteen-year-old anthropology student Elara Quinn travels to the secluded village of Hollow Hill, she believes she's there to study pagan traditions for her thesis. But the locals are secretive, and the rituals they perform under the midsummer moon are far from harmless. As Elara is drawn deeper into the cult led by the mysterious Mother Lorna, she discovers an ancient, sentient flower - The Bloom - that feeds on fear, blood, and time itself.
The Bloom has chosen Elara as its next vessel.
Now, Elara must decide: destroy the source of the village's eternal youth and risk her life - or surrender and become the next immortal priestess.
Perfect for fans of dark folklore, slow-burning horror, and morally complex heroines, The Bloom of Hollow Hill explores the terrifying price of beauty and power rooted in myth.
