The Knight and the Moth

From BookTok sensation and NYT bestselling author Rachel Gillig, comes the next big romantasy phenomenon: a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a prophetess who is forced beyond the safety of her cloister on an impossible quest to defeat the gods with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight.<BR><BR>Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from seven unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum's windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.<BR><BR>Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral's cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god. <BR><BR>Praise for One Dark Window:<BR><BR>'An enchanting tale with sharp claws and teeth - Gillig's prose will pull you in and won't let you sleep. Pulse-pounding, darkly whimsical and aglow with treacherous magic, One Dark Window is everything I love in fantasy and more' Allison Saft, author of A Far Wilder Magic<BR><BR>'A beautifully dark fairy tale of blood, rage and bitter choice, that whisked me away to mist-wreathed woods ripe with romance and menace' Davinia Evans, author of Notorious Sorcerer<BR><BR>'An evocative tale of romance, mystery and alluring monsters, told in beautifully lush prose' Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge<BR><BR>'Steeped in brooding romance, twisted magic and nail-biting intrigue, One Dark Window snares readers in its deliciously dark spell and leaves them desperate for more.

'Ich bin der Wind in den Bäumen, bin Schatten und Schrecken. Das Echo in den Blättern - der Nachtmahr, dich zu wecken.'Wer von der Magie befallen ist, die im Nebel von Blunder lauert, wird von der Königsgarde vernichtet. Doch Elspeth Spindle hat überlebt, dank des düsteren Wesens, das in ihrem Geist gefangen ist und ihr enorme Kräfte verleiht. Eines Nachts begegnet sie im Wald einem geheimnisvollen Mann. Ravyn Yew, Hauptmann der königlichen Streiter, will den Fluch des Nebels brechen. Dazu benötigt er zwölf magische Karten, die nur Elspeth finden kann. Und so muss sie nicht nur dem Mann vertrauen lernen, den sie immer als ihren größten Feind sah, sondern sich auch der Anziehung zwischen Ravyn und ihr stellen. Und es gibt noch eine Wahrheit, der sie nicht entrinnen kann: Das Wesen in ihr droht alsbald ihren Geist zu verschlingen ...'Eine Geschichte mit Zähnen und Klauen, die ganz und gar verzaubert. Gilligs Sprache wird euch in ihren Bann ziehen.' ALLISON SAFTBand 1 der THE SHEPERD KING-Dilogie

Rachel Gillig, the queen of gothic romantasy, returns with higher stakes, darker mysteries and deeper longings in this gorgeous sequel to the No. 1 international 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 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.Praise for The Knight and the Moth:'Dreamy prose, characters so vibrant they breathe on the page, a romance that smoulders, and a spellbinding world to get lost in.

Ich weiß nicht, wie ich es nennen soll, aber ich will es. Ich will dich.'Schon seit neun Jahren dient Sybil Delling zusammen mit ihren Schwestern in der Kathedrale von Aisling als Weissagerin. Doch als eines Tages der geheimnisvolle Ritter Rodrick Myndacious nach Aisling kommt, ändert sich ihr Leben schlagartig. Obwohl der attraktive Rory ihr bei jeder Begegnung zeigt, dass er nicht an Sybils Visionen glaubt, sagt sie auch sein Schicksal vorher - und sieht dort ein mysteriöses Omen, das sie nicht zu deuten weiß. Sybils düstere Vorahnung scheint sich zu bewahrheiten, als ihre Schwestern nach und nach verschwinden. In ihrer Verzweiflung kann sie sich nur an Rory wenden, denn Sybil spürt, dass sie allein mithilfe dieses unverschämten Ketzers die Götter herausfordern kann, die ihr eigenes Schicksal so lange bestimmt haben.'Macht euch bereit für eure nächste Obsession!
