The Story at a Glance:
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.

Rating:
Lately, I’ve started a few books that just didn’t quite click, but The Knight and the Moth really hit the mark. The story grabbed me from the very beginning and flowed smoothly throughout.
I loved the magic system and the worldbuilding, and I was genuinely engaged in the story. A special bonus was the gargoyle Bartholomew, who added both humor and warmth to the tale. I’m really looking forward to book two!
