Publisher’s Summary
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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Really loved the story”
Wasn’t disappointed with the second part of the story! I was however with the male narrator. Too fast compared to the other narrator, weird voices for Bartholomew, Benji, and Sybil. Didn’t fit his character at all. I usually love dual narration but almost would have preferred this one all in the original narrator’s voice. She really brought the story to life and was a perfect fit for the writing style and characters.— A S, Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Tough Start but Stick with It “
It is beautifully written. The voice of Bartholomew from the male narrator feels a little comic like. The voice of Bartholomew from the female narrator is much bette. Definitely stick with it to the end.— NorCalGirl, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “A Magical Farewell”
Oh, Bartholomew, I love you so much! This little guy truly knows how to steal the show. What an incredible journey this book was. I feel completely satisfied with how everything concluded, though my one small nitpick is that I missed the mystery element that made the first book so intriguing. Still, this was an incredibly enjoyable read. Rachel Gillig, I need more from you!— Brian, Audible listener
