One Dark Window

13 minRachel Gillig

What's it about

What if the cure for a kingdom’s curse was locked inside your own mind, but accessing it meant surrendering to a monster? In a world shrouded by a magical mist that inflicts a deadly fever, you'll meet a woman who carries a dark and powerful secret. Elspeth is your only hope, but she's not alone. She shares her mind with the Nightmare, an ancient, mercurial spirit. You’ll follow her treacherous journey as she navigates a court of secrets and lies, torn between a dangerous highwayman and the monster within, to find the cure before it's too late.

Meet the author

Rachel Gillig is a bestselling author whose Gothic fantasies, including the Shepherd King duology, have captivated readers and appeared on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists. A California native with a BA in Literary Theory and Criticism from UC Davis, she has always been drawn to the shadowed groves of folklore and the enchanting darkness of fairy tales. This lifelong passion for atmospheric storytelling and mythical worlds directly inspired the haunting, mist-wreathed kingdom of Blunder and its cursed inhabitants.
