In the dark, spellbinding sequel to One Dark Window, Elspeth must confront the weight of her actions and she and Ravynembark on a perilous quest to save the kingdom.

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.

Pulse pounding, darkly whimsical, and aglow with treacherous magic. - Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic
