The Hollow Bell

Synopsis

When the cursed bell tolls, someone dies.
This time… it’s coming for me.

I never believed the town’s legends—not until the night a crow dropped a thin metal strip at my feet with my name carved into it. Since then, every toll has brought frost-script warnings, eerie deaths, and a shadowed boy who appears out of nowhere… always right before things go wrong.

Callen Roe.
Bound to the bell. Dangerous, magnetic, impossible to trust.
And somehow always a step ahead of my fate.

Then there’s Ezra Quinn—my oldest friend. Steady. Safe.
Except lately he watches me like he’s afraid of losing something he never said out loud.
Jealousy is unraveling him, and I don’t know how to stop it.

As the debt ledger awakens and classmates start vanishing, I’m pulled—along with a handful of survivors—into a deadly game against the cult that forged the curse. The bell demands payment. The ledger keeps writing. And every new secret points back to me.

Caught between two boys and hunted by an ancient debt, I’m running out of time.
I have one impossible choice:

Break the ledger… or pay with my life.
