The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig
(The Stonewater Kingdom, Book 1 of 3)

The instant #1 Sunday Times bestseller — a gothic, mist-cloaked romantasy from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of One Dark Window. Prepare to meet your next obsession.

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 — receiving visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens, predicting terrible things before they occur. Lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum's windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams. But 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 her fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help. The world outside the cathedral's cloister is wrought with peril, and only the gods have the answers she is seeking. As much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue — only a heretic can defeat a god.
