By Rachel Gillig

Hardcover

Book 2 of the Stonewater Kingdom duology

Publication Date: 01 September 2026

Rachel Gillig, the queen of gothic romantasy, returns with higher stakes, darker mysteries, and deeper longings in this gorgeous sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling sensation The Knight and the Moth.

Aisling Cathedral is in ruins. Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew, and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead—and the king has taken Sybil Delling as his bride. To show off their union and solidify his power over Traum, Benji proposes a series of tournaments throughout the hamlets. Captive and drugged, Sybil remains determined to vanquish him as she once did the Omens, even if she destroys the kingdom’s faith—and herself—in the process.

But then a mysterious knave rises to the top of the tournament lists, a man with no name and no memory who may just be Sybil’s ticket to undoing Benji’s power. For in a land where stories repeat themselves, where a king can prove as cruel as a god, the only way to truly destroy the Stonewater Kingdom’s faith is to save it.

Shipping & Book Condition

We take great care in preparing every order. Books with damage beyond minor cosmetic wear are never sent to customers. Each copy is individually wrapped in protective packaging to ensure safe transit.

However, books are inherently delicate. Minor corner dings or light surface wear may occasionally occur during shipping and are considered normal. These small cosmetic imperfections do not qualify for refunds or exchanges.

If your book arrives with significant damage (such as major tearing or severe structural denting), please contact us promptly and we will gladly arrange an exchange if copies are available.

Please review our FAQ page prior to placing an order to ensure understanding our shipping and return/exchange policy. Upon submitting an order you agree to the terms found on our FAQ page.

We deeply appreciate your understanding and your support of independent booksellers!
