She woke up from being poisoned by the Chalice Her dad gave her the Well Card so she can give it to Ravyn for marriage They take it so now they only need Twin Alders The Destreirs are all sent to patrol While every1 is gone Hauth traps her&tries to use her to pin Ravyn Elspeth lets the nightmare take over which consumes her He maimed Orithe & Hauth B4 she goes Elspeth makes him promise to help Ravyn & the Yews

She is losing herself to the nightmare that is her form of degeneration from the infection Sometimes when ppl look at her her eyes flash yellow&Elm is sus bc she was able to attack her father&scratch Hauth She realizes she needs to rid herself of nightmare b4 she loses herself Ravyn & her are falling for each other
Ravyn’s degeneration is that he can’t use all the cards besides nightmare mirror&maybe twin alders

They learn a lord has an Iron Gate so they ambush his carriage Destreirs & Hauth & her dad are also traveling so they get into a big fight Elspeth has to use the nightmare’s pwr to fight dad&Hauth They return to CastleYew Ravyn shows her the ruin w the one dark window&stone holding their deck of cards The room is the one she dreamt & she realized the nightmare is the Shepherd Kind

Just finished Part 1: The Cards. The details of the cards and the background info is intricate but very well explained! I’m excited for Elspeth to search for the remaining 3 cards w the Yews but I feel like something is going to happen with the crown prince & potentially her cousin Ione
Loving Ravyn & this fake courting situation😎
Also love the court/kingdom vibe w the different houses named after trees
