The Knight and the Moth

內容簡介

內容簡介 希碧兒·德林(Sybil Delling)花了九年時間夢想著不要再做夢。希碧兒是一位預言師，和其他孤女們一樣，用十年的服務換取在大教堂中的安穩生活。在她的夢中，她會收到來自六個超凡人物的異象，這些人物被稱為「預兆」。她能夠預知即將發生的可怕事件，無論是貴族還是平民，都會不遠千里穿越特拉姆(Traum)風吹草低的荒原，只為向她請教自己的未來。就在她和她的姊妹預言師們即將結束服務時，一位神秘的騎士來到大教堂。這位粗魯、異端且極其英俊的騎士羅德里克(Rodrick)對希碧兒的預知能力毫不尊重。但當希碧兒的預言師同伴一個接一個神秘失踪時，她別無選擇，只能尋求羅德里克的幫助來找回她們。因為大教堂外的世界危險重重；因為神祇雖能提供她所尋求的答案，卻也是她必須掙脫的束縛。儘管她寧可避開羅德里克那雙陰暗的眼睛和鋒利的舌頭，但唯有異端才能擊敗神祇。而她需要他。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.

各界推薦

各界推薦 “A gothic, romantic fairytale that feels like falling into a dark, strange dream — one you won’t want to wake from. With twisty parables, monstrous divinities, a slow-burn romance and magic with a deadly cost, the story of The Knight and the Moth unfolds like peeling back a gossamer shroud. Gillig has done it again — I’m obsessed.”―Amélie Wen Zhao, New York Times bestselling author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night“The queen of Gothic romantasy returns! The Knight and the Moth is as dangerous as it is whimsical, and entirely unputdownable.”―Allison Saft, author of A Dark and Drowning Tide"The Knight and the Moth delivers pure joy--gargoyles! gods! girls in armor!--alongside a serious examination of faith, fealty, and the powers they serve. It's a fairy tale with bruised knuckles, perfectly balanced between the mythic and the desperately human. Simply stunning."―Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January
