Free Audio Book : One Dark Window, By Rachel Gillig

In the spectral, fog-bound realm of Blunder, Elspeth Spindle requires more than mere fortune for her safety—she requires a beast. She refers to him as the Nightmare, an age-old, unpredictable spirit confined within her consciousness. He safeguards her. He conceals her truths.

However, nothing is without a price, particularly sorcery.

Upon encountering an enigmatic highwayman on the woodland path, Elspeth’s existence takes an unexpected twist. Propelled into a universe of shadows and deceit, she embarks on a perilous mission to rid Blunder of the malevolent magic plaguing it. Coincidentally, the highwayman is none other than the King’s nephew, the leader of Blunder’s most feared men…and a traitor.

Together, they have until the Solstice to collect twelve Providence Cards—the solution to the curse. But as the pressure escalates and their undeniable chemistry deepens, Elspeth is compelled to confront her darkest revelation yet: the Nightmare is gradually, ominously, seizing control of her psyche. And she may be powerless to prevent him.
