One Dark Window (The Shepherd King, Book 1) By Rachel Gillig

 Step into the mist-locked kingdom of Elspeth Spindle, a realm shrouded in eerie mystery and ruled by dark forces. In a world where magic demands a steep price, Elspeth harbors a unique ally—the Nightmare, an ancient spirit ensnared in her mind, granting her protection and harboring her deepest secrets. However, this supernatural alliance comes with its own costs, especially when Elspeth crosses paths with a captivating highwayman, the King's nephew and a treasonous figure.

As the narrative unfolds, Elspeth is thrust into a perilous quest to rid the kingdom of a malevolent magic that threatens its very existence. To cure the land, she and the highwayman must secure twelve Providence Cards before the approaching Solstice. Yet, beneath the surface of their journey, an undeniable connection forms, complicating their already precarious mission.

Amidst treacherous landscapes and shadowy deceptions, Elspeth faces not only external threats but also an internal struggle as the Nightmare lurking within her starts to assert its influence. The boundaries between ally and adversary blur, unveiling a captivating tale of dark fantasy where the stakes are high, and time is of the essence.

This gothic fantasy, reminiscent of Uprooted and For the Wolf, weaves a tale of magic, romance, and internal strife, promising readers a captivating journey through a world where the line between savior and monster becomes increasingly thin. 📚❤️
