The Knave and the Moon by Rachel Gillig | Waterstones Exclusive Hardcover

From Our Special Edition Box

📖 About this Book

The dark, romantic conclusion to The Stonewater Kingdom duology, following The Knight and the Moth. Rachel Gillig returns with higher stakes, darker magic, and a kingdom unraveling under a cruel ruler.

Aisling Cathedral lies in ruins, Sybil Delling has been forced into marriage with King Benji, and those closest to her are believed dead. While Benji uses a series of tournaments to strengthen his grip on Traum, Sybil is determined to destroy his power, even if it costs her everything. Then a mysterious knave appears, a man with no name and no memory, who may be the key to changing the kingdom’s fate. 

Dark, gothic, romantic, and full of tension. Humans apparently decided regular fantasy needed religious collapse, doomed kingdoms, tournaments, and emotional suffering all at once. Naturally, it works.

❤️ Why Sumaia Recommends It

If you loved The Knight and the Moth, this is absolutely the book to continue with. It keeps the gothic atmosphere and romantic tension while raising the stakes and pushing Sybil’s story into much darker territory.

This Waterstones Exclusive Edition also makes it a beautiful collector’s copy for anyone already invested in Rachel Gillig’s world. Rachel Gillig herself confirmed a Waterstones exclusive edition was produced for the release.
