Some pacts save lives. Others claim souls.

The Cinder Prophet is defeated, but victory has come at a terrible cost. One of their own is still missing, an ancient darkness is awakening, and every spell Anshul casts brings the fire inside him closer to consuming him.

The search for answers leads the company into a forgotten mountain settlement where the dead still whisper, impossible bargains shape the living, and Ziarius—the Nightmare Queen—offers salvation wrapped in ruin.

When tragedy forces one of the companions to choose between loyalty and unimaginable power, the bonds that have held the party together begin to fracture.

As undead armies rise and horrors descend from beyond the world itself, Anshul must confront the truth he has feared since the prophecy began.

The fire within him was never meant to save his life.

It was meant to save everyone else's.

Pact of the Nightmare Queen is the second novel in The Summerhost Saga, an epic fantasy adventure filled with dangerous magic, unforgettable companions, impossible choices, found family, and world-ending stakes.

Perfect for fans of Kings of the Wyld, The Blacktongue Thief, and party-based epic fantasy adventures filled with unforgettable companions, dangerous magic, and impossible choices.
