About One Dark Window
When Elspeth's dangerous magic threatens to consume her, she must work with mysterious highwayman Ravyn to find magical cards that could save her kingdom—or destroy it entirely. Gillig crafts atmospheric dark fantasy romance with a unique card-based magic system and gothic sensibility that balances romance with genuine danger. The first in the Shepherd King duology featuring innovative magic and morally complex characters, this novel explores themes of power, corruption, and sacrifice while featuring a magic system where mystical cards hold incredible power and a romance built on shared secrets and mutual understanding of darkness.
