"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     Enemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy.   On the night Rune's 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 Sharpe - a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution - who she can't help but find herself falling for. Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune's 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 façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she's the very villain he's been hunting? Kristen Ciccarelli's Heartless Hunter is the thrilling start to The Crimson Moth duology, a romantic fantasy series where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch...is falling in love.  "Enchanting and deeply romantic,  Heartless Hunter  drew me in with the first sentence and left me breathless by the last. A story that unfolds like a spell, and one that is destined to capture your heart." - Rebecca Ross, #1  New York Times  bestselling author of  Divine Rivals]]></description><link>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1093076</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1093076</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ciccarelli, Kristen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1093076051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250866912/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Rebel Witch]]></title><description><![CDATA[The stakes are even higher in this epic, romantic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Crimson Moth duology A WITCH...

In the beginning, there was the Namsara: the child of sky and spirit, who carried love and laughter wherever he went. But where there is light, there must be darkness&#8212;and so there was also the Iskari. The child of blood and moonlight. The destroyer. The death-bringer.  These are the legends that Asha, daughter of the king of Firgaard, has grown up learning in hushed whispers, drawn to the forbidden figures of the past. But it isn&#8217;t until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari&#8212;a lonely destiny that leaves her feeling more like a weapon than a girl.  Asha conquers each dragon and brings its head to the king, but no kill can free her from the shackles that await at home: her betrothal to the cruel commandant, a man who holds the truth about her nature in his palm.  When she&#8217;s offered the chance to gain her freedom in exchange for the life of the most powerful dragon in Firgaard, she finds that there may be more truth to the ancient stories than she ever could have expected. With the help of a secret friend&#8212;a slave boy from her betrothed&#8217;s household&#8212;Asha must shed the layers of her Iskari bondage and open her heart to love, light, and a truth that has been kept from her.]]></description><link>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1092082</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1092082</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ciccarelli, Kristen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1092082051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062568007/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heartless Hunter]]></title><description><![CDATA["A steamy game of cat and mouse between witch and witch-hunter, played out against a backdrop of opulence, secrets, and bloody history.
