'Thick fog, shifting alliances and clever magic make the perfect backdrop for a sweeping romance - One Dark Window is enthralling from beginning to shocking end' Hannah Whitten, bestselling author of For the Wolf

ELSPETH NEEDS A MONSTER. THE MONSTER MIGHT BE HER.

An ancient, mercurial spirit is trapped inside Elspeth Spindle's head - she calls him the Nightmare. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic.

When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, she is thrust into a world of shadow and deception. Together, they embark on a dangerous quest to cure the town of Blunder from the dark magic infecting it. As the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly, darkly, taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.

For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a gothic fantasy romance about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom.

Amazing audiobook. It gives you the perfect atmosphere nad vibes for the story. The romance is really good. There is a little steamy scene but nothing explicit.
Great characters, cool magic system and kind of quest to collect all of the magical cards. I love it.
Can't wait for the sequel.

Amazing book! Highly recommend it.

Right from the start I was confused by the fact how self-centered, clueless and careless Elsbeth is, This did not improve any throughout the stiry since her co-conspirators are pretty much just as bad. Given that not only their lives but their entire families are endangered this just seems really idiotic. I liked the reader and the magic system and the story could have been good.

Elsbeth is annoying

Ich bin jetzt ungefähr bei der Hälfte des Buches angekommen und überlege ob ich es bis zum Ende schaffe! Die Charaktere sind kaum auszuhalten und bei der Handlung schlafen mir fast die Füße ein!

Leider ziemlich langweilig

Eine wirklich tolle Geschichte. Die Charaktere sind vielschichtig und das Magie System sehr kreativ. Düster und fesselnd. Bitte mehr davon!

Spannung pur
