Now, as much as I love BookTok, I’m precious about whose recommendations I follow, and I’ve been led astray more than once. Thankfully, Gillig’s work lives up to the hype. The Knight and the Moth is her latest, the first installment in her new The Stonewater Kingdomseries. This romantasy centers Sybil Delling, a Diviner in the kingdom of Traum, where she is nearing the end of her service as an oracle in the relative safety of a grand cathedral. In that cathedral, she is repeatedly drowned in magical water to provoke her visions, and the people of Traum flock to her and her fellow Diviners for peeks into the future. But when Sybil’s Diviner sisters begin to disappear, she must trust the help of a knight named Rodrick to find them. Gothic and thrilling, The Knight and the Moth cements Gillig as one of our finest romantasy writers.” Source: https://www.elle.com/culture/books/g69415627/best-fantasy-science-fiction-books-2025/
