The Knave and the Moon

by Rachel Gillig · 2026

In the second volume of The Stonewater Kingdom, Rachel Gillig returns with a darker, more intricate tale of power, faith, and memory. Aisling Cathedral lies in ruins, and the king has taken Sybil Delling as his bride. To cement his rule, Benji stages a series of tournaments across the hamlets. Captive and drugged, Sybil fights to destroy the tyrant who has seized her kingdom. Amid the contests, a mysterious knave with no name or past rises to the top, offering Sybil a chance to overturn Benji’s grip. In a world where stories repeat and kings can be as cruel as gods, the only way to save the Stonewater Kingdom’s faith is to confront its darkest truths.
