One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig
One Dark Window is a gothic fantasy novel that follows Elspeth Spindle, who was infected with the fever as a child. The fever is caused by the magical mist, which is a curse that seals off Blunder from the rest of the world. Those who get caught in the mist without a lucky charm will get infected, and if they survive the fever, they will be granted wild powers which slowly kill the host. The only way to get rid of the mist is to reunite all 12 Providence cards. Elspeth must team up with the ruthless King’s nephew to collect the cards before the solstice.
What creature is he, with mask made of stone? Captain? Highwayman? Or beast yet unknown?
