Elspeth was infected by the fever as a kid and had gained the power to absorb the cards fragments into herself. This leads to the monster called Nightmare living in her. She keeps to herself, and was isolated by her father to live with her aunt and uncle, until her family accepts the invitation to the King's festival where she meets Ravyn and his brother. Both siblings are infected as well, and while most are killed off as soon as they're found to be infected, those related to the king are allowed to live.

Uma janela sombria? Um título bonito assim como a capa, um livro que oculta uma estória linda de busca da justiça, desejo de ajudar os indefesos e principalmente, o medo da verdade, porque a verdade nem sempre é bem aceita e compreendida. 
Em um mundo cercado de uma bruma assustadora, pessoas açoitadas por supostas traições, amor sendo posto a prova tanto por pais e filhos, amigos e amantes. 
A leitura foi extremamente fluída, intrigante e agora preciso continuar a duologia porque a dúvida está me deixando ansiosa demais. 
Para quem gosta de fantasia, recomendo demais essa obra perfeita, que nos faz torcer por uma menina, um rei e um monstro!

This book was FINE. Far too much usage of similes to describe things. Prose was ok. The romantic relationship felt rushed. Like it was just very average, to me. I felt the card magic system could have been much cooler but it was a cool idea turned very basic.
