What to expect

FALL IN LOVE WITH THE ULTIMATE ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ROMANTASY

'Enchanting and deeply romantic' REBECCA ROSS

CRIMSON MOTH is published as HEARTLESS HUNTER in North America.

The only thing more treacherous than being a witch is falling in love…

A HUNTED WITCH

The revolution reigns. The witches who once ruled are hidden, hunted. Rune is one of them.

A socialite by day, she is the Crimson Moth by night. A vigilante bent on saving her own, her next rescue demands she court Gideon Sharpe – a notorious witch hunter and unforgiving revolutionary.

A WITCH HUNTER

Gideon will pursue the Crimson Moth to the ends of the earth, and her trail leads him to Rune. But beneath her façade might be his match.

Except what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?

'Kristen Ciccarelli bewitched me with raw storytelling talent! THE CRIMSON MOTH is a gritty caper and a delectable enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance rolled into one. From the high-stakes intrigue, to the rich world-building, to the enthralling magic system, to the toe-curling tension between two striking characters who are destined to be foes but can’t keep their hands (and hearts) to themselves—there is nothing about this book that I don’t fervently adore’ Thea Guanzon, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

'A steamy game of cat and mouse between witch and witch-hunter, played out against a backdrop of opulence, secrets, and bloody history. I couldn't look away' Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Champion of Fate
