The Knight and the Moth

▶ Rachel Gillig’s The Knight and the Moth is a gothic romantasy novel that follows Sybil Delling, a prophetess known as a Diviner, who has spent nine years serving in the great cathedral by dreaming prophetic visions from mysterious figures called Omens. As Sybil and her fellow Diviners near the end of their service, a brooding, heretical knight named Rodrick arrives, and soon Diviners begin to vanish mysteriously. Forced beyond the safety of her cloister, Sybil must team up with Rodrick-whose future she cannot see-on a perilous quest across the windswept moors of Traum to uncover the fate of her sisters and confront the gods themselves. The novel weaves together themes of faith, fate, and self-discovery, all set against a richly atmospheric backdrop filled with romance, symbolism, and dark intrigue.
