Winter is a time of chilly temperatures and long nights. Trees stand barren without their leaves, and cloudy days cast a dreary veil over everything. It’s a season for staying inside where it’s cozy and warm. Maybe you make yourself a cup of tea. Maybe you curl up under a blanket with a book. Rachel Gillig’s One Dark Window is the perfect novel for such a time. In this gothic fantasy, magic comes upon people like an infection. It’s even treated like a disease. A fatal one.

The third book in the Empyrean Series, titled Onyx Storm, came out last week to mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. This new epic tale, which began in 2023 with the release of Fourth Wing, has been a sensation within the BookTok community and beyond, but as they’re keen to let everyone know, the romantasy genre has much more to offer than just the story of Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson.

A good gothic read can set the mood for the fall season if one sees it as a time of spooky activity and books that perfectly blend horror and fantasy. The gothic genre is generally defined by visions of gothic architecture — although when the set dressings don’t strictly adhere to this style, it’s still all about old buildings and dark academia. Yet “gothic” may be just the tone of the story, with enigmatic characterizations, a dark palette, and explorations of evil, knowledge, and power.

One Dark Window by Rachel GilligIf I’d checked Amazon, probably I would have learned everything I needed to know about Rachel Gillig’s 2022 fantasy novel One Dark Window. It was a BookTok sensation. I can probably stop there. One Dark Window is the first of a Duology, the SHEPHERD KING series, a second-world fantasy, or romantasy, actually, since much of our protagonist Elspeth’s time is spent wondering if Ravyn, the grouchy nephew of the king, really likes her, and if she really likes him.
