Tarentum, PA Author Publishes Science Fiction Novel

May 15, 2026 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
"Hollow," a new book by Brandy East, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A genre-bending epic that bridges the worlds of high-tech science fiction and classic fantasy.

"Hollow" follows the unlikely friendship between Hallen, a proud captain of the feline-dragon Felinar race, and Ray, a rough-edged human wizard from a medieval, primitive world. Imprisoned by a terrifying enemy species known as the Keth, the duo must overcome deep cultural divides to survive. As magic and advanced technology collide, their growing bond challenges the core beliefs of their respective worlds.

This novel takes place in a universe where interstellar travel and ancient magic coexist uneasily. It has high-stakes action balanced by banter, culture shock, and deep emotional growth, and a core philosophical exploration of what defines a living being when technology denies the existence of the soul.
