"Hollow Road" by Dani Finn

Note: "Hollow Road" is by Dani Finn, who previously used to go by the name Dan Fitzgerald. It is the first book in the Maer Cycle.


Some Legends are true. Others have been twisted.

Legends describe the Maer as savage man-beasts haunting the mountains, their bodies and faces covered with hair. Creatures of unimaginable strength, cunning, and cruelty. Bedtime stories to keep children indoors at night. Soldiers’ tales to frighten new recruits.

It is said the Maer once ruled the Silver Hills, but they have long since passed into oblivion.

This is the story of their return.

Carl, Sinnie and Finn, three companions since childhood, are tasked with bringing a friend’s body home for burial. Along the way, they find there is more to the stories than they ever imagined, and the mountains hold threats even darker than the Maer.

A classic adventure fantasy with LGBTQ characters, perfect for fans of Dungeons and Dragons who want action, friendship, and empathy in equal measure.
