书籍简介

浓雾、变幻莫测的联盟和巧妙的魔法，构成了这部波澜壮阔的爱情小说的精彩背景——《黑暗之窗》从头至尾都令人着迷。

埃尔斯珀斯需要一个怪物。怪物可能就是她。

一个古老而多变的灵魂被困在埃尔斯珀斯·斯宾德（Elspeth Spindle）的脑袋里--她称他为梦魇。他保护着她。他为她保守秘密。但没有什么是免费的，尤其是魔法。

当埃尔斯珀斯在森林路上遇到一个神秘的公路客时，她被推入了一个充满阴影和欺骗的世界。他们一起踏上了危险的征途，要治愈布劳德镇受黑暗魔法的侵袭。随着赌注的增加和他们之间不可否认的吸引力的加强，埃尔斯珀斯被迫面对她黑暗的秘密：噩梦正在慢慢地、黑暗地占据她的心灵。而她可能无法阻止他。

为《连根拔起》（Uprooted）和《为了狼》（For the Wolf）的书迷们带来了一部哥特式奇幻爱情小说，讲述了一个少女必须释放内心的怪物才能拯救她的王国的故事。

《黑暗之窗》获得好评：

这是一个张牙舞爪的迷人故事--吉利格的散文会吸引你，让你无法入睡。一扇黑窗》是我所钟爱的奇幻小说中的一切，甚至更多。

‘Thick fog, shifting alliances and clever magic make the perfect backdrop for a sweeping romance – One Dark Window is enthralling from beginning to shocking end’ Hannah Whitten, bestselling author of For the Wolf

ELSPETH NEEDS A MONSTER. THE MONSTER MIGHT BE HER.

An ancient, mercurial spirit is trapped inside Elspeth Spindle’s head – she calls him the Nightmare. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic.

When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, she is thrust into a world of shadow and deception. Together, they embark on a dangerous quest to cure the town of Blunder from the dark magic infecting it. 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.

For fans of Uprooted and For the Wolf comes a gothic fantasy romance about a maiden who must unleash the monster within to save her kingdom.
