About this ebook
INSTANT #1 NEW YORKTIMES 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.

the love story was very juvenile, there was no twist i didnt see coming. BUT there was just something new and mesmerizing about the story, I couldn't stop reading it. The story was so good that it didnt need a more sophisticated and thought out love relationship or surprising twists. and honestly, Bartholomew was the best character. I can't wait for the next book !

This book was so interesting but also so heartbreaking at the same time. The way Alva told the story made me want to continue reading, and just for the king to put her in a different type of prison at the end made my heart break for her this is a great book.But if you do not want to cry i would not recommend it
