"Maiden. Monster. Martyr."--Cover. Includes an excerpt from book two of The shepherd king by Rachel Gillig and from Wild and
wicked things by Francesca May (pages 401-421). "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"--
