One Dark Window
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.
