The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig – Book One in The Stonewater Kingdom Series

She sees everything… except him.
Book one in a gothic, mist-laced romantasy series from the author of One Dark Window.

In a kingdom ruled by prophecy and shadow, she was never meant to leave the cloister.
And he was never meant to walk beside her.

Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of darkness. A Diviner of the Omens, she sees the threads of fate in her sleep—visions that warn of blood, fire, and ruin. Hidden away in the great cathedral of Traum, Sybil is nearing the end of her sacred service, longing for peace.

But peace shatters the moment Rodrick arrives.

A heretical knight cloaked in secrets and scars, Rodrick is the one man whose future Sybil cannot see. And when her sister Diviners begin to vanish, one by one, she is forced to leave the only home she’s ever known—to find answers among gods and monsters, armed with nothing but her dreams… and a reluctant knight with a haunted past.

As legends stir and long-buried truths unravel, Sybil must decide what she’s willing to risk—her heart, her faith, or her very soul.

“He is the shadow in her prophecy.
And the only one who might help her rewrite it.”
