For a hundred years, Ellandria has rotted from a fungal plague twisting beasts into nightmares and hollowing the living from the inside out. The fungus remembers Maren. And it’s calling her name. When a stranger offers Maren an amulet identical to her missing brother’s, she’s drawn into a hunt through forests choked with rot and whispers of secrets only the spores know. Haunted by guilt and pursued by an ancient force, Maren must choose between saving her humanity or letting the hollowing consume her and everyone she loves. Perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher and Mark Lawrence, The Mycelic Verge blends dark fantasy, corrupted magic, and survival against impossible odds.
