The Hollow Vale: Short Stories: The Dawning Shadows of Elderglen

In a land veiled by mists and steeped in history, The Hollow Vale weaves a haunting tale of fate, sacrifice, and the indelible pull of memory. Velden Nan-once Eadgifu-heeds the call of the Wyrd, leaving behind her daughter, Ethelwyn, and the familiar rhythms of life in Elderglen. Under the shadow of the Thorn Tree, where ancient roots coil around secrets long buried, the Spiral turns, binding past, present, and future in unyielding threads.

Set against a backdrop inspired by the marshes, hills, and ruins of Somerset, this richly imagined story explores the tension between faith and folklore, memory and loss. From the perilous waters of the Wyther Isles, where the sea tolls its mournful bell, to the sacred Isle of Batt, where Pagan shrines and Christian sanctuaries whisper uneasily of the past, the narrative dances between the tangible and the ethereal.

As Ethelwyn uncovers her family's legacy, she is drawn ever deeper into the Wyrd's embrace-a force that echoes through glades where silence breathes, through ruins where shadows linger, and through lives intertwined by the spiral's eternal turning. History becomes a mirror and a shadow, refracted through longing and the toll of unspoken truths.

Evocative and timeless, The Hollow Vale is a journey into the spaces between myth and reality, where the weight of ancestral memory and the call of the unknown ask the ultimate question: How far would you follow the threads of fate?
