The books

  1. One Dark Window

    Rachel Gillig · The Shepherd King #1 · complete series

    Spice 1/5 Darkness 3/5

    There's a monster living in Elspeth's head, and it talks. Gothic, foggy, strange in the best way. Feels like a dark fairy tale someone forgot to tame.

    Spice 1/5 Darkness 3/5

  3. The Knave and the Moon

    Rachel Gillig · The Stonewater Kingdom #2 · complete series

    Spice 1/5 Darkness 3/5

    The second half of the Knight and the Moth duology. A captive queen teams up with a fighter who's lost his memory to take down a tyrant king. Gillig's eerie, fairy-tale-gone-wrong mood with barely any spice, which is how her fans like it.
