Book Release Calendar » The Knave and the Moon (The Stonewater Kingdom, Book 2) by Rachel Gillig

Spoiler warning: The following description contains information about the ending of The Knight and the Moth.

Aisling Cathedral lies in ruins. Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew, and Maude Bauer are missing and believed to be dead. Meanwhile, King Benji has taken Sybil Delling as his bride.

To display their union and strengthen his control over Traum, Benji organizes a series of tournaments across the kingdom. Sybil remains his captive and is kept under the influence of drugs, but she is determined to defeat him—even if doing so destroys the kingdom’s faith and costs her everything.

Hope appears when a mysterious knave begins winning the tournaments. He has no name and no memory of his past, but he may be the key to breaking Benji’s hold over Sybil and the Stonewater Kingdom.

In a land where stories repeat themselves and kings can become as cruel as gods, Sybil must decide whether destroying the kingdom’s faith first requires her to save it.
