Nightspell

The mapmakers of this kingdom mark only a brief warning: ghosts dwell here. The dead are not hidden in remote woods or lightless caves. They move among the living, forming a palace court that carouses through the night and rests during the day.

Years ago, Darri's sister was caught in this realm while still a child. Now Darri has a chance to free her, provided she agrees to a betrothal with the prince of the dead. The path is anything but straightforward. Her sister is no longer the girl Darri remembers, her plan begins to unravel almost immediately, and the prince seems more vividly alive than anyone around him.

Darri is a fighter at heart, and the story asks whether that resolve can survive the hardest decision she will ever face.
