Phantom of the Hollow: Legend of the Headless Rider

I came to Sleepy Hollow to chase facts—not legends.

But the deeper I walk into these cursed woods, the more the line between truth and nightmare blurs. I’m sent to investigate a string of brutal, headless murders, yet it’s the dreams—the ones filled with smoke, blood, and a sorrow older than the trees—that haunt me most.

Then I find him.

Bastian. A monster made of ash and bone, crowned in ruin and bound to the Hollow by a betrayal centuries old. He’s everything I was told to fear—and everything I never knew I needed.

Our bond awakens something dark and hungry beneath the roots. The Headless One stirs, and the woods themselves hold their breath.

Now I have a choice. Protect the world that fears me, or embrace the monster who sees my soul.

Because here, in Sleepy Hollow, love isn’t salvation.

Love is the curse.
