Orbit The Knave and the Moon by Rachel Gillig | Hardcover Anthology

Rachel Gillig, acclaimed author of gothic romantasy, delivers a gorgeous sequel to the No. 1 international bestselling sensation The Knight and the Moth. This hardcover anthology continues the saga with higher stakes, darker mysteries, and deeper longings within the world of Traum.

• Aisling Cathedral is in ruins, and Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew, and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead.
• King Benji has taken Sybil Delling as his bride, solidifying his power over Traum through a series of tournaments.
• Captive and drugged, Sybil seeks to vanquish Benji, even if it means destroying the kingdom's faith and herself.
• A mysterious knave with no name or memory rises in the tournaments, potentially offering Sybil a path to undoing Benji's power.
• The narrative explores themes of repeating stories, cruel kings, and the paradox of saving faith by destroying it.

This installment follows the success of the previous work, which received high praise:

• Rebecca Ross (author of Divine Rivals) noted its "Dreamy prose, characters so vibrant they breathe on the page, a romance that smoulders, and a spellbinding world to get lost in."
• Alix E. Harrow (author of Starling House) described it as delivering "pure joy: gargoyles! gods! girls in armour! alongside a serious examination of faith, fealty, and the powers they serve."
• Tasha Suri called it "Haunting, elegant and lovely... both a thrilling quest and an exquisite love story."
