The Knave and the Moon

Rachel Gillig

Book 2 of The Stonewater Kingdom

Picking up right where the cliffhanger left off, this duology finale finds Sybil held captive as the new king's bride while he stages a series of public tournaments to cement his rule. A mysterious, memory-less knave rising through the tournament ranks may be her only way to fight back against a ruler who wields faith like a weapon. The book leans further into political intrigue and found-family stakes as it closes out the story of Traum, its Omens, and the people trying to survive both. Fans of the first book's gothic mood and banter-heavy side characters will find the same tone carried through to the end.
