Muses Book Club: The Knight and The Moth

  • Friendly City Books 423 Main Street Columbus, MS, 39701 United States (map)

The Muses is a monthly book club for anyone who loves fantasy, romantasy, and mythology by women writers. Our pick for June is The Knight and The Moth by Rachel Gillig.

"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." --Kalie Cassidy, author of In the Veins of the Drowning

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.

The Muses is a collaboration between Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System and Friendly City Books and meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7 pm at Friendly City Books. See you there!
