Description

In One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, readers are introduced to Elspeth Spindle, a young maiden living in the mystical town of Blunder, a place plagued by dark magic and pervasive shadows. Trapped within her mind is a cunning and ancient spirit known as the Nightmare. This enigmatic being offers her protection and keeps her secrets—but at a cost. When Elspeth encounters a mysterious highwayman on a forest road, she is pulled into a perilous journey that will change her life forever.

The highwayman reveals a quest that could cure Blunder of its dark affliction, thrusting Elspeth into a world of shifting alliances, devious plots, and potent magic. As she delves deeper into this treacherous adventure, her connection to the Nightmare grows stronger, and she grapples with the horrifying realization that the spirit might be taking over her mind. As the attraction between Elspeth and the highwayman intensifies, so do the risks they must take and the secrets they must unveil. With time running out, Elspeth must confront her inner monster to save her kingdom from impending doom.

Fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf will find themselves captivated by Gillig's masterful blend of gothic fantasy and romance. One Dark Window weaves a hauntingly beautiful tale of love, magic, and the monstrous within.

ELSPETH NEEDS A MONSTER. THE MONSTER MIGHT BE HER.
