FALL IN LOVE WITH THE ULTIMATE ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ROMANTASY

'Enchanting and deeply romantic' REBECCA ROSS

CRIMSON MOTH is published as HEARTLESS HUNTER in North America.

The only thing more treacherous than being a witch is falling in love…

A HUNTED WITCH

The revolution reigns. The witches who once ruled are hidden, hunted. Rune is one of them.

A socialite by day, she is the Crimson Moth by night. A vigilante bent on saving her own, her next rescue demands she court Gideon Sharpe – a notorious witch hunter and unforgiving revolutionary.

A WITCH HUNTER

Gideon will pursue the Crimson Moth to the ends of the earth, and her trail leads him to Rune. But beneath her façade might be his match.

Except what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?

The dangerously romantic start to Kristen Ciccarelli’s New York Times bestselling fantasy duology

Critic reviews

'Enchanting and deeply romantic, The Crimson Moth 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, New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals

'Kristen Ciccarelli bewitched me with raw storytelling talent! THE CRIMSON MOTH is a gritty caper and a delectable enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance rolled into one. From the high-stakes intrigue, to the rich world-building, to the enthralling magic system, to the toe-curling tension between two striking characters who are destined to be foes but can’t keep their hands (and hearts) to themselves—there is nothing about this book that I don’t fervently adore’ Thea Guanzon, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

'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

'COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN…It’s the sexy witchy lady PIMPERNELL retelling we all deserve' Kester Grant, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Court of Miracles

'An enchantingly written, high-stakes romantasy with a pulse-racing plot – I was captivated' Natasha J. Hastings, author of How to Charm a Viscount

'A spell-binding fantasy romance with twists, turns, and an irresistible forbidden love. Between the intricate and unique magic system, an addictive enemies-to-lovers romance, and a stunning world filled with intrigue, Ciccarelli weaves a tale that is impossible to put down … I was left thinking about Rune and Gideon long after I turned the last page' Elizabeth Helen, author of Beasts of the Briar series

Although I was hoping for a bit more spice (this is very tame, and there's really only one one scene), the story is rich, and I really enjoyed reading about the world that was created. While the VA did a good job with the performance, and has a very listenable voice, it would have been SO much more fun to have a male VA for the Gideon chapters as well. I really enjoyed it though, and have bought the 2nd book. I need to know what happens!

Great story, and good performance

Everything about this book is sublime! The twisty turny plot, the enemies to lovers, the deception - ugh chefs kiss!
I couldn’t stop listening to it, I finished it over two days, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So excited for book 2!
The VA was fab too, the slight inflections of her voice for different characters was great without it being jarring.
Love love love! Read it now!

I was hooked from the first line!

"The Crimson Moth" by Kristen Ciccarelli is an absolute gem, and is beautifully brought to life by the narrator, Grace Gray, who adds depth and dimension to every chapter. Grace brings such genuine emotion to her performance that it's impossible not to be drawn in… the power of such a well told story and skilled narrator makes this really special. I can’t wait for the next one!

A gem, and beautifully narrated!

When I saw what this book was about I thought same old story enemy's who fall for each other and started it with low expectations boy I was so wrong! So much you feel for the characters even the ones you don't like at the start, I shows you can come from wealth or nothing and carry a heavy burden and the weight and shame of things that can't be controlled. Really enjoyed and was such an easy read I couldn't out it down now I can't wait for the next part!!!!
