One Dark Window

By Rachel Gillig

Book Overview

THE FANTASY BOOKTOK SENSATION!

For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a dark, lushly gothic fantasy about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom--but the monster in her head isn't the only threat lurking.

Elspeth needs a monster. The monster might be her.

Elspeth Spindle needs more than luck to stay safe in the eerie, mist-locked kingdom she calls home--she needs a monster. She calls him the Nightmare, an ancient, mercurial spirit trapped in her head. He protects her. He keeps her secrets.

But nothing comes for free, especially magic.

When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, her life takes a drastic turn. Thrust into a world of shadow and deception, she joins a dangerous quest to cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it. Except the highwayman just so happens to be the King's own nephew, Captain of the Destriers...and guilty of high treason.

He and Elspeth have until Solstice to gather twelve Providence Cards--the keys to the cure. But as the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly, darkly, taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.

Loved This Book

amazing characters!!!! Great story!!!! Each page was rich with details!!! Bought the second book before I finished this one. How could I not!!! I have to find out what will happen to Elspeth and Raven. Story had everything I look for in a book! Romance, a little bit of spice, mystery, deception!!

Five stars will never be enough

Beautiful story line, beautiful characters and a villain so amazing you have no choice but to love him. If you are hesitant to jump into this series, let this be a final call from the Spirit of the Woods-purchase it, read it, cry, then read it again. And whatever you do, be clever, be weary and be good.

Dark window

The world building was well done and i love, love, loved the story. I genuinely loved the magical curse over the land and the card aspects with whomever carried them. I don't want to spoil it but if you like magic and the protagonist at a constant battle with themselves, you’ll appreciate this book. Worth it.
