A little over a year following the Battle of Obsidian Ash, the great and powerful Pharaoh, Ramises the First, has arisen from his slumber to finish what the Vampire of War had started.
Backed by the Demon King to reignite the Third Hollow War, the Pharaoh has turned his sights towards all those who had failed Vitsig the Merciless by denying him his conquest. The Lord of Bones. The Ghost King. The Vampire Witch. All have proven themselves weak links in the chain, and Ramises believes he must first eliminate his fellow Hollow Men before turning his wrath against the kingdoms of the Fae, starting with Eli and his Kingdom of Bones.
As for the Fae, ignorant to the hurricane that is brewing in The Hollows, they are set on making this years Christmas celebration a return to form as they look to their King to lead them into a brighter future. Although the war with the Vampires had hit the King and his people harder than anticipated, the Kingdom of Winter has remained strong in its resolve, managing to maintain its spirits in light of the darkness that has festered within the shadow of their keep. Elves have gone missing, food has gone scarce, and the King has implemented a curfew to keep his people safe from whatever it is that is brewing throughout The Flake.
Many a mystery surrounds the fate of the realm, and although many have mistaken the calm before the storm as an achievement of peace, anyone paying attention could tell you that the storm is coming...
...And its name is Pharaoh!
