In the luscious, dark sequel to One Dark Window, Elspeth must face the consequences of what she's wrought - perfect for readers of Hannah Whitten's For the Wolf and Alexis Henderson's The Year of the Witching.

Elspeth and Ravyn have gathered most of the twelve Providence Cards, but the last, and most important one remains to be found: The Twin Alders.

If they are going to find it before the Solstice and cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it, they will need to journey beyond the dangerous mist-cloaked forest that surrounds their kingdom.

And the only one who can lead them there is the monster that shares Elspeth's head. The Nightmare. And he's not eager to share any longer.

Rachel Gillig

Rachel Gillig is an author whose writing casts a shadow over the fantasy genre, drawing readers into worlds where magic, danger, and romance intertwine in unexpected ways. Born with an affinity for the darker side of storytelling, Rachel's work often explores the complexities of power, fate, and the human condition, all while enveloping her characters in the rich tapestry of magical realms.

Her debut novel, One Dark Window, captured the imaginations of readers with its haunting atmosphere and deep emotional currents.
