In the New York Times bestselling sequel to One Dark Window, Elspeth must confront the weight of her actions as she and Ravyn embark on a perilous quest to save the kingdom—perfect for readers of Hannah Whitten's For the Wolf and Alexis Henderson's The Year of the Witching.
Gripped by a tyrant king and in the thrall of dark magic, the kingdom is in peril. 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’re going to find the card before Solstice and set free the kingdom, they will need to journey through the dangerous mist-cloaked forest. The only one who can lead them through is the monster that shares Elspeth’s head: the Nightmare.
And he’s not eager to share any longer.
Praise for One Dark Window:
"Enthralling from beginning to shocking end." —Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf
"Pulse pounding, darkly whimsical, and aglow with treacherous magic." —Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic

      Starred review from September 1, 2023
      Trees! In Gillig's latest (sequel to One Dark Window, 2022), magic comes from the Spirit of the Wood, and each family name relates to a type of tree. The woods are openly worshiped, while the mist that curls among them, infecting people with forbidden magic, is feared. Five hundred years earlier, the Shepherd King gave away every part of himself to create the magical Providence Cards, falling short before securing the Twin Alders card that would free Blunder from the mist. Now his soul, named Nightmare, has taken over the body of Elspeth Spindle, who is working with her romantic interest, Ravyn, in a rebellion against the abusive king of Blunder, Quercus Rowan, and his eldest son, Hauth. The brutish Hauth was left comatose by Nightmare, forcing Prince Elm to step up in unexpected ways. The revelations are unpredictable, and point of view characters are intriguing as they struggle through the challenges set before them. In this engaging duology, Gillig has created a distinctive form of magic, explored how humanity would abuse it, and offered a chance of redemption. Characters are painfully aware of their flaws as this page-turner keeps readers guessing at the outcome.
