About the book
THE FANTASY BOOKTOK HYPE!
If you love Uprooted and For the Wolf, get ready for a dark and gothic fantasy that will leave you mesmerized. Follow the journey of Elspeth, a maiden who must embrace the monster within to save her kingdom from lurking threats.
In the mist-locked kingdom where Elspeth resides, danger is ever-present. To protect herself, she relies on the Nightmare, a powerful spirit trapped in her mind. But using magic always comes with a price.
When Elspeth encounters a mysterious highwayman, her world is turned upside down. With the kingdom in turmoil, they embark on a perilous quest to rid it of dark magic. However, the highwayman is no ordinary man - he is the Captain of the Destriers and a wanted criminal.
Together, they must collect twelve Providence Cards by Solstice to find the cure. But as their bond grows stronger, Elspeth realizes that the Nightmare inside her is gaining control. Will she be able to save her kingdom and herself before it's too late?
