"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"-- Provided by publisher Magic Fiction. 60861 Kings and rulers Fiction. 60862 Quests (Expeditions) Fiction. 60863 Fantasy fiction. 60864 Fantasy fiction. 60864 Romance fiction. 60865 Novels. 60866 lcc BK 98813 98813 0 0 lcc 0 0 FIC HSLRC HSLRC FIC 2026-02-23 Sketchbook/Fullybooked 1679.20 1 FIC .G56on 2022 bk.1 HS15071 2026-06-25 2026-06-16 14:59:40 2026-06-16 1 1679.20 2026-02-23 BK
