The Knave and the Moon by Rachel Gillig (Hardback)

The Knave and the Moon is the conclusion to Rachel Gillig’s Stonewater Kingdom duology, returning with gothic romantasy, dangerous mysteries and rising stakes. Following the events of The Knight and the Moth, this sequel expands its haunting world with power struggles, forgotten truths and a fight for the soul of an entire kingdom.

Aisling Cathedral has fallen into ruin and the kingdom of Traum stands on unstable ground. Rumours swirl around those believed lost, while Sybil Delling finds herself trapped in a nightmare of power and control. Forced into a marriage designed to strengthen a king’s grip over the kingdom, she remains determined to fight back no matter the cost.

To tighten his influence across the land, King Benji announces a series of tournaments throughout the hamlets, using spectacle and fear to reinforce his rule. Held captive and pushed to her limits, Sybil refuses to surrender, even as the path ahead threatens her faith, her identity and everything she once believed.

Then a mysterious knave begins rising through the ranks. A man with no memories and no past, he may hold the key to dismantling Benji’s growing power. In a world where history repeats and stories shape fate, his arrival sparks new possibilities and dangerous questions.

As faith, truth and control collide, Sybil must decide whether destroying the kingdom is the only answer or if saving it may be the greater act of rebellion.

Perfect for readers who enjoy gothic romantasy, mysterious heroes, amnesia tropes, dark kingdoms, magical intrigue and emotionally driven fantasy romance.
