๐ About this Book
The Stonewater Kingdom is in chaos. Aisling Cathedral lies in ruins, Sybil Delling has been taken as the kingโs bride, and Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew, and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead.
To strengthen his control over Traum, King Benji announces a series of tournaments across the kingdom. Captive and drugged but far from defeated, Sybil is determined to destroy his power, even if doing so means challenging the faith upon which the entire kingdom has been built.
Then a mysterious knave with no name and no memory begins climbing the tournament rankings, offering Sybil an unexpected opportunity to fight back.
Dark, romantic, eerie, and filled with dangerous mythology, The Knave and the Moon is the second and final book in Rachel Gilligโs Stonewater Kingdom duology, following The Knight and the Moth.

โค๏ธ Why Sumaia Recommends It
Rachel Gillig is so good at creating fantasy worlds that feel gothic, strange, romantic, and slightly unsettling, and this sequel looks even darker than the first.
I love that Sybil is no longer simply trying to understand the world around her. Now she is trapped inside the very system she wants to destroy, while the mysterious knave adds another layer of secrets and questions.
If you loved The Knight and the Moth, this is absolutely one to continue with. Higher stakes, darker magic, dangerous faith, tournaments, mystery, and emotional suffering. Apparently Rachel Gillig looked at our peace of mind and declined it.
