In the forgotten village of Haldrin’s Hollow, something ancient stirs beneath the web-wrapped trees.

Ilya Dunsfeld is a hunter, bound to a sentient bow that whispers with every heartbeat and hungers for blood with every arrow. Sent by the Guild to investigate a string of disappearances, she’s joined by Torin—a veteran hunter who trusts blades more than curses, and Ilya least of all.

What begins as a routine hunt soon unravels into a nightmare: a nest of silk, a monstrous spider queen, and a buried truth no one was meant to survive. As the bow's influence tightens and Ilya is forced to choose between control and destruction, she must confront a terrible question—when the monsters are dead and the silence returns, what’s left of the hunter who killed them?

Dark, brutal, and laced with creeping dread, The Spider is the first novella in a grim fantasy series, The Hollow Huntress, where every hunt comes with a cost—and some weapons take more than they give.
