The Crimson Moth
A steamy game of cat and mouse between witch and witch-hunter, played out against a backdrop of opulence, secrets, and bloody history.
1. HEARTLESS HUNTER by Kristen Ciccarelli
SYNOPSIS
On the night Runeβs life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is.
Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpeβa notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolutionβwho she canβt help but find herself falling for.
Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Runeβs merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow faΓ§ade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if sheβs the very villain heβs been hunting?
2. REBEL WITCH by Kristen Ciccarelli
SYNOPSIS
Rune Winters is on the run. Ever since the boy she loved, Gideon Sharpe, revealed who she was and delivered her into enemy hands, everyone wants her dead. If Rune hopes to survive, she must ally herself with the cruel and dangerous Cressida Roseblood, whoβs planning to take back the Republic and reinstate a Reign of Witchesβsomething Cressida needs Rune to accomplish.
Apparently, it wasnβt enough for Rune to deceive Gideon; sheβs now betrayed him by allying herself with the witch who made his life a living hell. Gideon wonβt allow the Republic to fall to the witches and be plunged back into the nightmares of the past. In order to protect this new world he fought for, every last witch must dieβespecially Rune Winters.
When Rune makes Gideon an offer he canβt refuse, the two must pair up to accomplish dangerous goals. The more theyβre forced into each otherβs company, the more Gideon realizes the feelings he had for Rune arenβt as dead and buried as he thought. Now heβs faced with a terrible choice: sacrifice the girl he loves to stop a monster taking back power, or let Rune live and watch the world he fought so hard for burn.
