Description
"A gothic, romantic fairytale that feels like falling into a dark, strange dream -- one you won't want to wake from. With twisty parables, monstrous divinities, a slow-burn romance and magic with a deadly cost, the story of The Knight and the Moth unfolds like peeling back a gossamer shroud. Gillig has done it again -- I'm obsessed."-- Amélie Wen Zhao, New York Times bestselling author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night on The Knight and the Moth
Review Quotes:
"The Knight and the Moth delivers pure joy--gargoyles! gods! girls in armor!--alongside a serious examination of faith, fealty, and the powers they serve. It's a fairy tale with bruised knuckles, perfectly balanced between the mythic and the desperately human. Simply stunning."-- Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January on The Knight and the Moth

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES!
Rachel Gillig, the queen of gothic romantasy, returns with higher stakes, darker mysteries, and deeper longings in this gorgeous sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling sensation The Knight and the Moth.
Aisling Cathedral is in ruins. Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew, and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead--and the king has taken Sybil Delling as his bride. To show off their union and solidify his power over Traum, Benji proposes a series of tournaments throughout the hamlets. Captive and drugged, Sybil remains determined to vanquish him as she once did the Omens, even if she destroys the kingdom's faith--and herself--in the process.
But then a mysterious knave rises to the top of the tournament lists, a man with no name and no memory who may just be Sybil's ticket to undoing Benji's power. For in a land where stories repeat themselves, where a king can prove as cruel as a god, the only way to truly destroy the Stonewater Kingdom's faith is to save it.
" The Knight and the Moth delivers pure joy. Simply stunning."―Alix E. Harrow, #1 New York Times bestselling author
