The Shepherd King World

“The girl, the King… and the monster they became.”

There once was a Shepherd King who bartered with the Spirit of the Wood for a Deck of Providence Cards to make magic accessible to his people. But nothing comes for free in Blunder, especially magic. Elspeth Spindle has been living with the infection and the Nightmare in her head for almost ten years. Avoiding Destriers and Physicians she has lived isolated and in constant fear. A fateful meeting with Ravyn Yew, the Captain of the Destriers, will change her life forever.

Rachel Gillig’s debut duology consisting of “One Dark Window” and “Two Twisted Crowns” is a dark fairytale with gothic vibes, a unique magic system and just the right amount of fantasy and romance to make you swoon.  Dressed like a highwayman by Ravyn’s side, she will use the dark magic the infection has granted her to unite the Deck of Providence Cards and rid Blunder of the mist and the infection once and for all. But there are forces darker than magic lurking under a corrupted Kingdom. Will they cure the infection or will she lose herself in the darkness inside her?
