One Dark Window
by Rachel Gillig
“One Dark Window” is a captivating fantasy novel that follows the journey of Elspeth, a young woman harbouring dark magic due to a childhood infection. Alongside the brooding captain of the destriers, who harbours his own secrets about loyalty to the king, Elspeth and a group of trusted allies set out on a quest to collect the Providence cards. These magical cards, when assembled into a deck, hold the power to banish all dark magic from Blunder. However, the nightmare within Elspeth’s mind threatens to disrupt their mission.
The story is enthralling from the start, especially once the concept of the Providence cards is understood. The chemistry between Elspeth and Raven is electric, yet it never overshadows the central focus on Elspeth’s internal struggle with her nightmare. The ending is satisfying, leaving readers eager for the sequel. The Gothic setting is dark and mysterious, perfectly complementing the narrative. The writing is beautifully descriptive, immersing readers fully in the story.
Overall, “One Dark Window” is a brilliant fantasy read with a touch of romance that keeps readers engaged from beginning to end. Elspeth is a likeable protagonist, and the dual rooting for her and the nightmare adds depth to the story. This book is a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts, and I am eagerly anticipating the next instalment.
