## Description

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes a sensational romantasy, a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a young prophetess forced on an impossible quest with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight. "Prepare to meet your next obsession." ― Rebecca Ross, author of Divine Rivals 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.

Review: Rachel is incredible! This was everything. - Rachel Gillig proves every time she is truly in a league of her own. I am in awe of the unique stories her mind is able to create. They are always one of a kind and such an enjoyable and enthralling experience. This is Romantasy at its core. This was unputdownable, impeccable, beautiful, painful & poetic. I loved every single moment. I am so happy I get to dive right into book 2. This was everything! The easiest five stars. I needed this distraction from life and it 100% delivered. Thank you, Rachel, for allowing me to escape into this world and characters I now care so much about. Rachel is an auto buy author for me. So much talent. I’ll read anything she writes and I know I’m basically guaranteed to love it at this point.
Review: 4 Stars - Oh that ending! That was crazy.😮 I kind of saw something like that coming but then the author leveled up! This book was good. I mean I wasn't blown away but I wasn't bored either. This is my first time reading something considered "gothic" so I'm not sure if that's why I found the plot a little corkey. I'm not exactly sure what gothic romance entails. Is it because it was a little dark and had gargoyles? It did come off as a classic romance set in a fantastical world. It definitely gave me Bronte sister vibes. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I feel like the plot was okay. If you thought about it too deeply it probably won't make a bit of sense. But surface level it was interesting. I like the gargoyle character. He was witty but also clueless. The humor made this story flow. It was kind of sad too. And very dark. Especially when you figure out what's really going on, it gets very dark. 😩 I found the romance to be lovely. I love me a good "come here" trope. I don't even know if that's a real trope or not but it's real in my head. I like Rory and Number six. 😉 It grew into something cute. I also like the found family feeling at different points in the book. I was a little wary to trust it. It's the curse of reading too much romantasy where betrayal runs deep but I was here for it. Honestly, I didn't know what was going on half the time. I kept waiting for higher stakes to appear. It was a middle of the road right up until the last 10 pages. This book gets a lot of praise on Book Tok and I mean is it good? Yes! Is it the best thing ever written? Nah! I feel bad comparing books but that's how I do my reviews. Like I said, this is middle of the road. Good writing, a likable FMC, a great cast of characters, some good quotes, and a believable romance. I think the pacing was consistent. But the magic system and world building was a little shaky. I will not try to dismantle every detail cause then I will be lost. The humor and the ending is what gets this rating to 4 ⭐! I'm glad I decided to read this. Even better, the next book is already released.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Need More, Bartholomew
*by V***E on September 28, 2026*

I got through this book in two days. I loved it that much. There's humor that made me cackle out loud, mainly because of a specific gargoyle. Sybil is an incredible FMC. She's strong, determined, and brave, yet her vulnerability is what makes her real. And when the MMC helps her put on her armor? Whew! The character-driven plot moves steadily. Not a single part was boring. The characters are nuanced, and their motivations are believable. I was SUPER invested in this story and am so eager to dive into the second book. So, if you've seen the hype behind this series but haven't picked it up yet, consider this a sign. Read it. You won't regret it.
