The Resonant Hunger

Navy SEAL Theo Voss was trained to survive anything—dark water, terrorist raids, orders that don’t leave room for doubt. One covert mission off the California coast ends with him falling through a living seam, and into Thalmaris, a glittering realm where magic is fed by emotion. And there, emotions are meant to be harvested, traded, and stolen.

Princess Maela Corvale doesn’t have the luxury of feeling. In her world, emotion is currency, power, and control—it’s Thryss. The Hollowed are hungry. They slip through dreams, feed on fear, and hollow people out from the inside. Maela has ruled with a blade in one hand and ice in her veins, until Theo crashes into her life like fiery chemistry wrapped in skin.
