The Sprite and the Gargoyle

A century has passed in Traum since the events of Rachel Gillig's Stonewater Kingdom duology, and Bartholomew finds himself a squire once more, setting out across the kingdom on the road again. It is a short, standalone novella, so it works on its own, though returning readers will feel the weight of those hundred years.

Gillig has illustrated it herself with full-page black-and-white drawings that suit her gothic sensibility beautifully. The duology it follows was a number one Sunday Times bestseller. A slim, atmospheric return to a much-loved world, ideal for an evening by lamplight.
