About this listen
***THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER!***
From New York Times and multi-million-copy bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes the next big romantasy phenomenon: a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a prophetess who is forced on an impossible quest with the one devilishly handsome knight whose future is beyond her sight.
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.
Praise for The Knight and the Moth:
'The Knight and the Moth delivers pure joy: gargoyles! gods! girls in armour! alongside a serious examination of faith, fealty, and the powers they serve. It's a fairy tale with bruised knuckles, perfectly balanced between the mythic and the desperately human. Simply stunning' Alix E. Harrow, author of Starling House
'Haunting, elegant and lovely, The Knight and the Moth is that rare fantasy gem: both a thrilling quest and an exquisite love story' Tasha Suri, award-winning author of The Burning Kingdoms trilogy
'With the headiness of dreams and the darkness of haunted abbeys, The Knight and the Moth is dazzlingly transportive tale of love, salvation, and freedom that cements Gillig as one of the finest fantasy writers of our age. You will never want to surface from these enchanting, depthless waters' Ava Reid, author of A Study in Drowning
'I'm obsessed with Rachel Gillig. The Knight and the Moth is achingly romantic, richly imagined, and told with a gossamer delicacy that keeps the pages flying' Hannah Whitten, author of The Foxglove King
'A gothic, romantic fairy tale that feels like falling into a dark, strange dream - one you won't want to wake from. Gillig has done it again - I'm obsessed' Amélie Wen Zhao, author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night
'Brimming with beguiling prose, and a dangerous magical world, The Knight and the Moth sparkles with wit and a slow burn romance that left me breathless and impatient for the next instalment' Isabel Ibañez, author of What the River Knows
'The Knight and the Moth is a lavender-drenched dream. Readers won't be able to put down this adventurous, dark gem of a book' Kalie Cassidy, author of In the Veins of the Drowning©2025 Rachel Gillig (P)2025 Orbit

Enjoyable
Story line was interesting and engaging however lacked character development and depth. It all seemed pretty superficial and mild considering what was happening in the story. Not bad but just not a favourite either

Wonderful world to explore
I love the world building and unique side characters and aside from the way the main character switched up on her beliefs so quickly, the story was paced well. Although I am left wondering why they call mirrors looking glasses but the gargoyle knows what a sabbatical is.
The story has amazing prose and the spice scenes are done tastefully and show a beautiful connection between the two main characters. The relationships between all characters a genuine even if a bit rushed and the humour brought to the story by the gargoyle is brilliant. The ending was nicely foreshadowed but not predictable. This book was a wonderful read.

Everything was amazing. If I could give 6 stars, I would. The narrator is incredibly and so easy to listen to, she amplified the incredible storyline soo well!

I love the gargoyle so much 😭 as for the overall book, I think they did a really great job on choosing the narrator. There were a few questions left re the story but I think that is because the FMC was so isolated and naive, and we were seeing things through her. I am sure we will get more in the next book. Looking forward to the next book

Loved it!!
I was sucked straight into this book! The vibes were immaculate, the writing was superb, the narration perfect! I did feel at times that it lost my focus but would then pull me right back in, I definitely need a reread to catch all the tiny little details I think I’ve missed! I can’t wait for book 2!!
