The Knave and the Moon
by Rachel Gillig

The truth is hidden behind veils, and the darkness is closer than anyone dares believe.

In a kingdom haunted by prophecy and sharpened by betrayal, survival demands more than loyalty—it demands sacrifice. As ancient powers awaken and dangerous secrets begin to surface, a blindfolded maiden and a deadly knave find themselves bound together by fate neither of them can escape.

But the deeper they descend into a world of hidden magic, shifting alliances, and whispered legends, the more dangerous their connection becomes. Because some truths were buried for a reason… and some monsters are born from the things left unseen.

And under the watch of the moon, even the purest hearts can become something deadly.

Darkly enchanting and utterly immersive, The Knave and the Moon delivers gothic fantasy filled with tension, mystery, forbidden longing, and hauntingly beautiful worldbuilding.
