One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig – Book 1 in the Phenomenal The Shepherd King Duology (Original English Edition).
Maiden. Monster. Martyr.
In the eerie, mist-locked kingdom of Blunder, magic is both forbidden and fatal. Anyone caught infected with magic is hunted down by the king's brutal Destriers. Elspeth Spindle should have been executed years ago, but she survived a childhood infection with a terrifying condition: she shares her consciousness with the Nightmare, a sinister, ancient spirit with an appetite for violence and rhyme.
When Elspeth encounters Ravyn Yew, the enigmatic and dangerous Captain of the Destriers, she discovers he is secretly orchestrating a rebellion against the crown. Ravyn seeks to collect the complete deck of twelve mythical Providence Cards—ancient magical artifacts capable of lifting the toxic mist choking Blunder. To save her kingdom and silence the monster in her head before it claims total control, Elspeth strikes a perilous alliance with Ravyn, plunging into a world of court betrayal, high-stakes danger, and dark, intoxicating romance.
