DescriptionIn Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy, The Crimson Moth, the enemies-to-lovers trope reaches new heights as a witch and a witch hunter find themselves entangled in a perilous romance. The novel unfolds in the aftermath of a brutal revolution, where bloodshed has stained the streets, toppling once-powerful witches and casting them as hunted pariahs. Central to this turmoil is Rune, a young woman whose life has been irrevocably altered.
Forced to conceal her true nature, Rune spends her days masquerading as a frivolous socialite, but under the cover of night, she transforms into the Crimson Moth, a daring vigilante dedicated to saving her fellow witches from brutal purges. However, when a rescue mission goes disastrously wrong, Rune devises a desperate plan to throw the witch hunters off her trail: she must infiltrate their ranks by courting the fearsome Gideon Sharpe.
Gideon, a notorious and relentless witch hunter devoted to the revolutionary cause, initially detests Rune, seeing her as the embodiment of the opulence and superficiality he despises. But as he integrates himself into her social circles, pretending to court her to gather intelligence, he discovers there's more to Rune than meets the eye. Behind her façade of beauty and shallowness lies a woman of sharp intellect and gentle strength. The tension between duty and desire escalates as Gideon begins to suspect that Rune might be the very villain he seeks.
The Crimson Moth marks the exhilarating beginning of a romantic fantasy duology, blending high-stakes adventure with slow-burning romance and heart-stopping conflict. Kristen Ciccarelli crafts a tale where the risks of being a witch are matched only by the perils of forbidden love.
