The Rebel Witch

The heart-rending conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Crimson Moth duology that began when a heartless hunter met a rebel witch…

‘Enchanting and deeply romantic’ REBECCA ROSS

A witch. A witch hunter. A love so deadly it could set the world on fire…

Rune Winters is on the run from the republic who condemned her and the boy who betrayed her. Her friends, her home, and the life she knew are lost.

An ocean away, her only ally is the unlikeliest one: Cressida Roseblood, the deposed witch queen intent on taking back what she thinks hers – the crown, the country, and Gideon Sharpe with it.

Gideon will not allow the terrors of his past to rise again, even if this means hunting down every last witch. But there is only one witch who holds the key to Cressida’s return…and Gideon’s heart.

And he will stop at nothing to find her. Rune Winters will meet her end. Even if it ends him too.

*The Crimson Moth is published as Heartless Hunter in North America.*
