But there is growing pressure from the other boarding schools, the Brotherhood, and even the Runics to discover the other missing magical books. The first visit to Dillon Lake has all the promises of discovering new alliances and uncovering the backstory of some of the most important players.

Shane Fallon strives to deceive, disrupt, and destroy the Elementals at every turn. 
  No longer are magical capabilities limited to a few students, but wickedness is waiting and amassing in the shadows to ensure war takes place and Arisol, the demon prince, is released, stronger than ever.

  Title: The Hollow of the Three Hills 
  Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1830 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 74 
  Description: 
  The Hollow of the Three Hills is one of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s earliest and most unsettling tales — a somber meditation on guilt, memory, and the inescapable weight of past sins. Told with Hawthorne’s characteristic moral gravity, the story follows a mysterious woman led into a secluded hollow where supernatural visions force her to confront the consequences of her actions. 
  Rather than relying on overt horror, Hawthorne creates a deeply psychological terror, using spectral voices and ghostly scenes to reveal ruined lives, lost innocence, and hope beyond recovery. The hollow itself becomes a symbolic grave of conscience, where the past rises with merciless clarity and judgment is unavoidable. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings solemn restraint and emotional intensity to Hawthorne’s prose, emphasizing the tale’s dreamlike atmosphere and quiet despair. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to preserving classic horror, The Hollow of the Three Hills stands as an early example of American psychological terror — a stark reminder that the most frightening hauntings arise not from monsters, but from memory and remorse.
