Elspeth must confront the weight of her actions as she and Ravyn embark on a perilous quest to save the kingdom in this incredible sequel to One Dark Window, from the queen of gothic romantasy.

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.
