Where prophecy ends, heresy begins.
Reading guide
The Knight and the Moth is the first book in the Stonewater Kingdom series. Subsequent volumes will continue Sybil and Rodrick's journey.
Sybil Delling, a Diviner bound to a remote cathedral, sees prophetic dreams from six Omens. When her fellow seers start disappearing, she must enlist the help of Rodrick, a heretical knight who dismisses her visions, and together they embark on a perilous quest that leads them to challenge the very gods themselves.

Description

In the mist-cloaked kingdom of Traum, Sybil Delling has spent nine years as a Diviner, trading a decade of her life to the great cathedral in exchange for a home. Plagued by dreams sent from six unearthly Omens, she can foresee terrible events before they strike, and nobles and peasants alike journey across windswept moors to learn their futures through her visions. Now, with her service nearly complete, Sybil longs only for a life free of dreams. But the arrival of a rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome knight named Rodrick upends everything, setting her on a path she never could have predicted.

When Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek Rodrick's help. Together they venture beyond the cathedral's cloistered walls into a world of peril, where faith and fealty collide. Only the gods hold the answers Sybil seeks, and as much as she would prefer to avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can challenge a god. Their reluctant alliance sparks a slow-burn romance as they confront ancient powers and unravel the truth behind the disappearances.

Brimming with beguiling prose and dreamlike atmosphere, Rachel Gillig's latest gothic romantasy delivers a darkly enchanting tale of love, sacrifice, and defiance. The Knight and the Moth masterfully weaves together haunting abbey ruins, whispered prophecies, and a quest that will keep readers turning pages into the night. Praised by authors like Rebecca Ross and Alix E. Harrow, this series-starter cements Gillig as one of the finest voices in dark fantasy romance.
