For three hundred years, the Hollow King has made the villagers pay each Halloween, trading their souls for his eternal life.
The sacrifice is the only ease he has for a wound that never heals, and his claw always finds its mark.
Cursed and alone, he has forgotten the queen he once loved.
This Halloween the offering feels different, familiar in a way that unsettles the long dark of his castle.
Behind a locked door an empty cradle still waits, and nothing promises he will remember before the sacrifice is complete.
