Description
Miyaβs world ended in Black Hollow.
Itβs been three years since the Dreamwalker upended her life and left her with a heavy burden. A fledgling to the ethereal realm, Miya stumbles into the nightmares of those haunted by spectres. Little does she know, one of them is coming for her, clutching a dark secret abreast.
Kai has found a new purpose with his companion, but the price is his freedom. Bound and beholden to Miya, he struggles to adjust to his new role as her vanguard.
Meanwhile, Mason discovers he may be a pawn trapped in a web of schemes. Was his time in Black Hollow an accident, or was it only the beginning of some greater machination?
As Black Hollowβs bloody stain spreads beyond its wooded borders, Miya fights to evade a past she barely understands. The Dreamwalkerβs legacy is a vise grip, and it isnβt letting go. Primordial horrors draw near, fables come alive, and long-buried histories rise from the grave, ready to hunt.
Sharpen your claws and bloody your teeth. Thereβs fear to be sown.

Praise for The Echoed Realm
βIβve been obsessed with A. J. Vranaβs dark, lyrical fantasy ever sinceΒ The Hollow Gods, and this sequel didnβt disappoint.Β The Echoed RealmΒ cleverly expands Vranaβs wholly original Dreamwalker mythology beyond the town of Black Hollow, with blood-chilling consequences. Gods are more powerful, possibilities are endless, and threats are more sinister than ever. Miya and Kai are haunted by the past, literally, while the lines between dreams and reality, lore and fact, and obsession and possession are paper thin. I canβt wait for you to experience this dangerous, glittering world for yourself!β
β Katya de Becerra, author of OASIS and WHAT THE WOODS KEEP
The Echoed Realm is the perfect sequel to Vranaβs stunning and original debut, The Hollow Gods. Brimming with sharp edges, dark nightmares, and menacing villains, this book will haunt you in all the best ways. Compulsively readable, with complicated characters and expansive world-building, this is an epic, macabre folktale for a new generation. Vranaβs lyrical writing is a mix of poetry, chaos, violence, and energy, blending to create a wild and wonderful potion, and I canβt wait to read more from this rich new voice in contemporary fantasy.
β Kim Smejkal, author of INK IN THE BLOOD and CURSE OF THE DIVINE
βWhat at first seems a familiar battle of good vs. evil is cleverly turned on its head as Vrana pulls readers down the rabbit hole into her strange, folkloric world.β
β Publisherβs Weekly
“The Echoed Realm pulls no punches and offers a masterfully crafted supernatural horror thatβs not afraid to face the hard truths and imagine a different kind of world. The Echoed Realm leaves an aftertaste of a promise, of something bigger and better, deeper and even bolder than this. Look out for A. J. Vrana in NY Times bestselling lists in the next couple of years.”
β Three Crows Magazine
βEverything about this book has a dark and spellbinding edgeβ¦an emerging threat in your peripheral vision, a creeping dread. Horror, supernatural, and fantasy push the threads of realism to its very edges.β
β The Coy Caterpillar Reads Book Reviews
“Darker, more impactful, more complex, with rich and interesting character development and the delightful writing of Miss Vrana, THE ECHOED REALM is the perfect conclusion to one of the best duologies I’ve had the pleasure to read.”
β Verified Reviewer
“THE ECHOED REALM may have closed off The Chaos Cycle, but it’s still going to be playing back in my mind for a long time to come.”
β Verified Reviewer
“Flitting between dreamworld and reality, the distinction between realms blurs at the seam until both worlds flawlessly collide in a gruesome and devastating conclusion. Monsters, demons, myths, and history are bound in a final twist that readers wonβt see coming.”
