The Knave and the Moon (The Stonewater Kingdom, 2)

With Aisling Cathedral reduced to ash and the kingdom of Traum under the iron grip of a tyrant, hope feels like a relic of the past. Sybil Delling, once a savior, now finds herself a captive bride to the man who dismantled everything she fought to protect. Drugged and isolated, Sybil harbors a singular, dangerous resolve: to dismantle the king’s power from within, regardless of the toll it takes on the realm or her own soul.

The trajectory of her defiance shifts with the unexpected arrival of an enigmatic knave. A man stripped of his name and memories, he cuts a path through the king’s tournaments with impossible precision, becoming the central focus of a land where history is cursed to repeat itself. As their paths collide, Sybil discovers that this stranger may be the key to shattering the king’s influence.

In a world where faith is a weapon and cruelty is divine, Sybil and the knave must navigate a landscape of dark magic and shifting allegiances. To survive, they must confront the realization that in order to finally destroy the Stonewater Kingdom’s toxic foundations, they might first be forced to save it.
