In One Dark Window, Rachel Gillig sets a gothic, mist-shrouded kingdom where magic is both coveted and corrupting. Elspeth Spindle survives in Blunder by bargaining with the Nightmare, an ancient spirit bound to her mind whose protection always carries a cost. After crossing paths with a masked highwayman who is secretly the king’s nephew and a wanted traitor, she is drawn into a covert mission to collect twelve Providence Cards said to cure the realm’s spreading dark magic. As their alliance deepens into a fraught romance, Elspeth must confront the psychological horror of losing herself to the very supernatural power that keeps her alive.
