One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig is a dark and atmospheric fantasy novel filled with magic, mystery, and forbidden power. The story follows Elspeth Spindle, who has lived her entire life hiding a dangerous secret—she possesses an ancient spirit within her mind, a force known as the Nightmare. In a kingdom ruled by prophetic magic, Elspeth’s secret makes her both powerful and dangerous.
When she becomes entangled in a rebellion against the king’s oppressive rule, she must navigate treacherous alliances, forbidden romance, and the ever-growing power within her. As the battle for control of the kingdom unfolds, Elspeth must decide whether she can trust the Nightmare or if it will consume her entirely.
With lush prose and an eerie gothic atmosphere, One Dark Window is a spellbinding tale perfect for fans of The Bone Season and For the Wolf.
One Dark Window is the first book in The Shepherd King duology, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey into a kingdom where magic is both a blessing and a curse.
