The Rebel Witch

Description

The thrilling, high-stakes conclusion to a dark and sweeping fantasy duology! From Kristen Ciccarelli, the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Namsara, comes The Rebel Witch, the explosive sequel to the acclaimed dark romantic fantasy, The Crimson Moth. Packed with breathless betrayal, intricate political intrigue, and an agonizing enemies-to-lovers romance, this gripping tale weaves a dangerous game of cat and mouse where love and loyalty are weaponized.

A fierce witch slayer, Gideon is a man consumed by duty and a desperate need to protect his people. Not content with merely deceiving him during their fragile alliance, Rune Winters has now turned into an outright traitor. She has committed the ultimate sin by officially joining forces with Cressida—the very witch who brutally tormented Gideon and represents everything he fears. Gideon absolutely refuses to let the newly forged Republic succumb to tyrannical witch rule, dragging their hard-won society back into the horrors and blood-soaked nightmares of the past. To safeguard his world and honor his sacrifices, he believes all witches must perish from the earth—and especially the deceptive, captivating Rune Winters.

For Rune, survival means playing a deadly game of politics and ancient magic. As a rebel witch hiding in plain sight, she must navigate the dangerous fallout of her exposed secrets while fighting for the liberation of her kind. But working alongside a ruthless regime and facing the wrath of the man she betrayed places her in a volatile crucible. With every look and every clash of wills, the burning tension between Gideon and Rune threatens to consume them both, blurring the lines between deep-seated hatred and an unyielding, forbidden passion.

Masterfully executing the witch x witch-slayer, enemies-to-lovers, secret identity, and betrayal tropes, The Rebel Witch delivers an epic, atmospheric fantasy experience filled with raw emotional angst, lethal magic, and an unforgettable battle for freedom and love.
