THE FANTASY BOOKTOK SENSATION! For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a dark, lushly gothic fantasy about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom--but the monster in her head isn't the only threat lurking. Elspeth needs a monster. The monster might be her. Elspeth Spindle needs more than luck to stay safe in the eerie, mist-locked kingdom she calls home--she needs a monster. She calls him the Nightmare, an ancient, mercurial spirit trapped in her head. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic. When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, her life takes a drastic turn. Thrust into a world of shadow and deception, she joins a dangerous quest to cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it. Except the highwayman just so happens to be the King's own nephew, Captain of the Destriers...and guilty of high treason. He and Elspeth have until Solstice to gather twelve Providence Cards--the keys to the cure. But 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.

Rezension von SvenjaIch hatte die ersten 50% wirklich Schwierigkeiten mit dem Schreibstil, so schlimm, dass ich teilweise abbrechen wollte. Als die Story dann Fahrt aufgenommen hat, war ich wirklich froh weiter gelesen zu haben. Bin sehr gespannt auf den 2. Teil!
Rezension von ruuniaAls Landschaftsgärtnerin und Pflanzenliebhaberin, habe ich dieses Buch geliebt. Ich kannte jede namentlich erwähnte Pflanze und war somit direkt in jener Natur. Der slow burn war ebenfalls eine der besten, welche ich gelesen habe. 🫶🏼
Rezension von Moa SchwartzJag slukade upp denna! Så himla bra!!!
Rezension von Clara"the two were together, so the two were the same, the girl, the king and the monster they became." One Dark Window liest sich wie ein düsteres altes Märchen, und ich habe jeden Moment davon geliebt!
Rezension von R.‘I did not expect it to be a 5 Star read literally. At first I was Like 3sat but then the sorry got way more interesting like everything clicked. Even tho the book ended in a cliffhanger. Like the whole story clicked. And omg ravyn and elspeth 🥹. Cute. I’m just very excited to read the second book. I took my time with the first book because I was on a class trip for a whole week so I couldn’t finish it. But I finished it today. Oh and at first it was so hard to follow. Overall 5 ⭐️
