The Knight And The Moth by Rachel Gillig

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 New York Times bestselling Shepherd King duology has entranced millions of readers across the world, and turned Rachel Gillig into one of the fastest-selling romantic fantasy authors of all time. Discover the unmissable story of Elspeth, Ravyn, and The Monster in this boxed set. Elspeth Spindle needs more than luck to stay safe in the eerie, mist-locked kingdom she calls home–she needs a monster. She calls him the Nightmare, an ancient, mercurial spirit trapped in her head. He protects her. He keeps her secrets. But nothing comes for free, especially magic. When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, her life takes a drastic turn. Thrust into a world of shadow and deception, she joins a dangerous quest to cure the kingdom of the dark magic infecting it. Except the highwayman just so happens to be the King’s own nephew, Captain of the Destriers…and guilty of high treason. He and Elspeth have until Solstice to gather twelve Providence Cards–the keys to the cure. But as the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly, darkly, taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.

Entre de vieux arbres où la brume s’épaissit, demeure la dernière carte. Moi seul sais la trouver… Qui l’ai cachée là. Alors qu’Elspeth et Ravyn avaient presque rassemblé les douze cartes de Providence, l’ombre du Cauchemar a pris possession de l’esprit de la jeune femme. Une course contre la montre s’enclenche, mais la carte des Deux Aulnes reste introuvable. Iona et le prince Orme, quant à eux, luttent contre les jeux de pouvoir de la cour, essayant de comprendre ce qui empoisonne le royaume. Ensemble, ils auront jusqu’au solstice afin de lier le jeu et soigner l’infection. Pour cela, il leur faudra arpenter la forêt baignée de brume qui étouffe leur pays. Mais le seul capable de les guider dans ce labyrinthe est le Cauchemar… et ce dernier compte sur un dénouement que personne n’aurait pu soupçonner.

Sa vie bascule lorsqu’elle rencontre Ravyn d’If, neveu du Roi.
