Your monthly ritual
A story that changes the room around you.
Each candle belongs to one episode. Light it as you open the book, and the forest, workshop, storm, or memory on the page begins to exist beyond it.
02
Light
Burn the world around you
The candle is poured for that exact episode, with scent notes drawn from the places, memories, and moments on the page.
03
Enter
Read in atmosphere
Let the candle burn while you read, then keep the printed episode and its scent as two pieces of the same journey.
Hand-poured for the chapter
A full-size candle, not a sample.
Every episode comes with a candle poured in small batches and scented for a place, memory, or danger in Myra’s story. Light it while you read, then return to that part of the Hollow for dozens of hours afterward.

Echoes of the Crucible
What would you pay to erase your worst memory?
She dyes her hair to hide what she is. Works in the shadows. She can alter your mind, take what hurts, and leave the rest.
Follow Myra through a twelve-part fantasy of power, revenge, and loss—and the morally grey choices of a woman with nothing left to lose.

Questions & Answers
Is this the same as the full Everlore Hollow experience?
It is the same twelve-episode story, distilled to its simplest ritual: one printed episode and the candle created for it. The larger Season One experience includes teas, artifacts, surprises, and additional collector pieces; Candle & a Story does not.
Does the monthly plan continue forever?
No. This is a finite twelve-episode story. You receive one candle and one printed episode per month, and the plan ends after Episode 12.
Can I cancel the monthly plan?
Yes. You can cancel before the next monthly shipment. You keep every episode and candle you have already received, but future episodes will no longer ship.
How does the complete collection ship?
The complete collection ships once, in one box, with all twelve printed episodes and all twelve candles together. Shipping begins August 1, 2026, after Episode 12 arrives and can be packed with the rest of the collection. It does not renew.
How long is each episode?
Each printed episode is about two hours of reading. You can finish one in a candlelit evening or pause wherever the story asks you to linger.
What does shipping cost?
Standard U.S. shipping is included outside Hawaii. Hawaii adds $8 to each monthly shipment or $20 once for the Complete Collection.
Can I read without burning the candle?
Of course. The candle deepens the atmosphere, but the story stands on its own. Burn it while you read, save it for a reread, or enjoy it whenever you want to return to that part of the Hollow.
Your next candle could open a world.
Begin with one episode and one flame—or bring the entire twelve-part story home at once.
