One Dark Window

In the mist-locked kingdom of Blunder, magic is a dangerous illness, and Elspeth Spindle harbors a secret that could lead to her execution. An ancient, mercurial spirit known as the Nightmare resides within her mind, offering protection while steadily growing stronger and threatening to consume her. This forbidden power is both a curse and her only means of survival in a world where those with magic are hunted.

When a mysterious highwayman draws her into a perilous quest, Elspeth must navigate a world of shadow and deception. She joins a dangerous endeavor to collect twelve Providence Cards, artifacts believed to hold the key to curing the kingdom's dark magic. As the stakes rise and the line between ally and enemy blurs, Elspeth confronts the true cost of her power and the possibility that the monster she needs might be herself.
