The Crimson Moth cover

In The Crimson Moth, a witch and a witch hunter navigate love and treachery in a world where their very existence is forbidden.

In The Crimson Moth, bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli weaves a captivating tale of love and conflict in a world where witches are hunted. The story follows Rune, a young witch whose life is forever altered on a night of bloodshed. As the aftermath of a devastating revolution leaves witches as outcasts, Rune must conceal her true identity while navigating a perilous existence. By day, she masquerades as a shallow socialite, but by night, she transforms into the Crimson Moth, a vigilante dedicated to rescuing her fellow witches from persecution.

When a rescue mission goes awry, Rune finds herself entangled with Gideon Sharpe, a notorious witch hunter dedicated to the revolution. To throw him off her trail and gather crucial information, she pretends to court him, only to discover that her feelings for him are growing deeper. Despite his disdain for the superficial world she represents, Gideon becomes intrigued by Rune's intelligence and strength, leading him to question everything he thought he knew about her.

As their relationship develops amidst danger and deception, both Rune and Gideon face the ultimate test of loyalty and love. The Crimson Moth is a thrilling start to a romantic fantasy duology, exploring the complexities of forbidden love and the high stakes that come with it. With themes of treachery and desire, this novel promises an enthralling journey filled with epic tension and slow-burn romance.
