About The Knave and the Moon
Aisling Cathedral has fallen, the kingdom is in turmoil, and Sybil Delling has been claimed as the bride of the very king she is determined to destroy. Captive, controlled and surrounded by a court built on faith, fear and old stories, Sybil knows that defeating Benji may cost her more than freedom. It may mean shattering the beliefs that hold Traum together. When Benji stages a series of tournaments to parade his power across the hamlets, an unexpected challenger rises through the lists: a mysterious knave with no name, no memory and a connection that could change everything. As gods, kings and legends begin to echo one another, Sybil must decide whether the only way to break the Stonewater Kingdom’s faith is not to destroy it, but to save it. Dark, romantic and steeped in gothic fairytale atmosphere, The Knave and the Moon continues Rachel Gillig’s Stonewater Kingdom series with higher stakes, deeper longing and a heroine fighting to reclaim both herself and her world.
