Fisher King
Beneath the roots of an unassuming valley lies Hollowshade Sett—a hidden world where badgers live by claw, song, and memory. Their lives are shaped by ancient rhythms: foraging under moonlight, sharing stories that bind generations, and trusting the earth to hold them safe. Here, community is everything, and even the smallest voice has its place.
But this is not their story alone.
Watching from the shadows is Flanagan the fox—cynical, sharp-tongued, and determined to keep his distance. Through his wary eyes, the Sett’s warmth is both a comfort and a torment, a glimpse of a belonging he has never known. Yet even he cannot ignore the changes creeping through the valley.
The streams turn bitter. The soil falters. Food grows scarce. And beyond the hedgerows, something restless begins to stir.
At the heart of Hollowshade are Lyss, steady and unyielding; Wren, curious and keen; and Bren, bold to a fault. As the world shifts beneath their paws, their bond will be tested in ways none of them can foresee.
Tales From Hollowshade is a richly woven tale of survival, memory, and the fragile ties that hold a community together. Lyrical, haunting, and darkly witty, it asks a simple question: when the ground itself begins to fail, what—and who—do you hold on to?
