Knowledge is power—if it doesn’t destroy you first.
Maeve has spent her life walking blind through a world where prophecy is power and knowing the future can mean survival. Her adopted daughter, Veronica, is the reincarnated Wolf Queen, marked by destiny and protected by ancient forces. But Maeve? She has no Gift of Knowing—no second sight, no prophetic dreams. Only relentless determination to keep Veronica safe from the ruthless priesthood that would claim her.
When Veronica’s supernatural gifts awaken and danger closes in, Maeve’s desperation drives her to the unthinkable: petitioning the Sleeping God, Lord Daegan—an ancient, merciless being sealed within the last priest of the Daeganean Order. Priests have gone mad seeking his favor, their minds shattered by his truths.
But Maeve is willing to risk everything for the chance to see what lies ahead—even if knowing the future costs her sanity.
Walk in Darkness is a short story from the world of Maeve and Spencer in the Witch in Time series within the universe of the Secret Lives of Librarians.
