Elspeth Spindle has survived a magical fever that should have killed her, and now an ancient, riddling spirit called the Nightmare lives inside her mind, offering protection at a steep cost. When she's drawn into a dangerous quest with the King's enigmatic captain, Ravyn Yew, to collect powerful enchanted cards and cure the mist-plagued kingdom of Blunder, she must decide how much of herself she's willing to sacrifice to the monster in her head. It's a gothic, fairytale-flavored fantasy built around court intrigue, a slow-burn romance, and a genuinely inventive tarot-like magic system.
