INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes a sensational romantasy, a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a young prophetess forced on an impossible quest with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight.
"Prepare to meet your next obsession." — Rebecca Ross, author of Divine Rivals
Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.
Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.
Why did I add The Knight and the Moth to my bookshelf?
I have had this audiobook for over a year and haven’t had the chance to listen to it yet. I have heard great things about it from my co-workers, so I think that it will be a good fit for me. The reviews on Goodreads look overwhelmingly positive, so I think that it is a good bet. Now I just need to find the time to read it.
So many things happened last week. My daughter got married on Saturday. It was a beautiful ceremony, and everyone had a lot of fun at the reception. I can now cross that event off my to-do list.
We have now owned our new home for a week. I haven’t had a ton of time to work on things, but now that the wedding is over, we are working hard to move things along. I am having carpet installed in the bedrooms sometime next week. We are moving my mom into the in-law suite on Saturday. We will be working very hard for the next several weeks, but I think it will be worth it in the end.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
I hope you do like it when you read it.
This does sound like a good one.
Well not that late for once
