The Knight and the Moth

De: Rachel Gillig

Narrado por: Samantha Hydeson

From NYT bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes the next big romantasy sensation, a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a young prophetess forced on an impossible quest with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Leigh Bardugo.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"With the headiness of dreams and the darkness of haunted abbeys, The Knight and the Moth is a 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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning

“A gothic, romantic fairytale that feels like falling into a dark, strange dream — one you won’t want to wake from. With twisty parables, monstrous divinities, a slow-burn romance and magic with a deadly cost, the story of The Knight and the Moth unfolds like peeling back a gossamer shroud. Gillig has done it again — I’m obsessed.”—Amélie Wen Zhao, New York Times bestselling author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night

"The Knight and the Moth is a lavender-drenched dream. Transportive and pacy, Gillig delivers sparkling romantic tension, eerie atmosphere, and the most unique, endearing characters I’ve read in a long while. The signs are clear—readers won’t be able to put down this adventurous, dark gem of a book."

Wow just wow

This story is phenomenal….i loved it so much! Cried my eyes out and the plot twist made my jaw drop….the world and the characters are something to love….especially the main characters side kick. The author is an amazing story teller! From the first sentence I was hooked and finished it in a week. I’m sad I read it too soon and didn’t wait till the next book is out….now I have to wait chomping at the bit wondering what happens next. Read it! And the narrator is top notch! Great talent and soothing beautiful voice.

Oh….my god

I have sat here for 10 minutes trying to find the right words to type…
The narrator was phenomenal, the book was incredible. As soon as I saw “outro credits” I was punching the air. 🤣

I CANNOT WAIT for book 2 🖤🖤

A slow spark

The Knight and the Moth takes its time getting started, but once the journey of the MFC begins, it builds. The ending delivers a punch that had me one-clicking book two without hesitation!

Truly enchanting

This book is absolutely amazing, the story is unique and captivating. I loved every second of it

Amazing story

The story was unique! The characters are interesting and and the story moves well.

Brilliant

One of my favorite main characters of all time. She is “mysterious and wildly intimidating”, clever, principled but conflicted, tough but vulnerable. The story drew me in from the start and I couldn’t put it down. The banter is TO DIE FOR. The prose is lyrical and evocative but also remarkably precise and to the point, and the author keeps the plot rolling at a delightful pace the whole way through. The audio narration is fantastic, immersive, and true to every character. Everything about this book is perfect, up until it ripped my heart out and I realized I have to wait for the second book. I may not survive.

It’s a masterpiece

I would die for the gargoyle. Absolutely die for him. The story is unique the romance is natural and a beautiful slow burn. I thought the ending was a little predictable. I saw it coming miles away and I’m nervous because it’s a stupid trope and could be ruined by a sequel. But this author is great and I have faith she will do it justice!

Beautiful writing…

The Knight and the Moth was okay. The writing is beautiful. The plot was interesting. The ending felt like a desperate attempt to stretch the story into two books. So much potential to be a great stand alone… oh well.

So good!

Fantastic story! Fantastic listen, Bartholomew! Creative, engaging, I highly recommend! It is so worth the credit!

Fabulous writing

The character building and evolution of this book are so good. I wish I could read it again for the first time
